Hi all. I finally got around to finishing my ruinous cgsphere. I think it
looks rather good, although you can't really see the little person clearly!
I'm working on an alternative camera position to rectify that; I shall post
it when it's done.
Enjoy
Bill

The level of detail on both the sphere and the "little person" (is that
Aiko?) are great, but the sand falls a tad flat.
Of course, I myself have been finding out how hard it is to come up with
a good sand texture. :-P

You know you've been raytracing too long when you wonder if ground fog
or atmosphere will look better for your company's market share pie chart.

I like it very much, and I think the little person is seen clearly
enough: you don't see it at first sight, but when you spot it, it adds
depth and a sense of proportion to the scene; it is a kind of nice surprise.
Small critic: as as been said, the sand is a bit flat.

Interesting...
Of course, all the best ones are done with 3D Studio Max. (Oddly
enough.) Also, it's news to me that Cinema 4D is still going.
Hmm, who knows? Maybe if I live to be 800 years old, one day I might
make something 1% as good as the poorer quality entries here?

Yes, 'tis Aiko! Silly really, I end up using her for everything at the
moment. The main reason is that I'm only really interested in using Poser
figures to establish scale, and for a touch of the 'human presence'. I've
found good quality free body textures and hair for Aiko so I've stuck with
her for the time being.
Yah, the sand issue. Actually sand *can* look totally flat and textureless
under some conditions, but I agree it does lack a little something. On the
other hand, you recognised that it was sand quite readily! ;-)
I am continuing my experiments with a low-level view of the sphere.

If you pose her pushing that column (the column on the floor in front
of her) into the sphere, then that would finish this image for me.
8/10 :)

You know, I think the only reason I mentioned the sand is that the
texture on the blocks is so nice. :-) It makes the sand stand out as
bland. :-P
BTW, it would be cool to see this image with radiosity. Bring it up the
level of your 3D-rtc entry. ;-)

You know you've been raytracing too long when you've ever "lost" a Julia
fractal because you're not quite sure how to align things in four
dimensions.
