This is my first "real" pov image (but still experimental at that time). Although
I've tweaked
on it over time so is isn't truly the original version. Some of the changes I've made
are: the
original stand had straight prongs instead of curved; the urns on top of the colonnade
were a
simple stack of three spheres of tapering sizes; and most recently I replaced the
checkered
plane by using my own rounded-box macro (although the original used the same
Jade/PinkAlabaster
textures). Plus a few other minor tweaks here and there.

Yeah... I guess if everyone had posted their ACTUAL first image, this
thread will be filled with black images. ;)

I've lost is in a disk crash :(
It was an experiment with media to create fuzzy, volumetric clouds based
on the bozo pattern.
Computer was an original Pentium 100 MHz with 48Mb of RAM running POV
version 3.1.

I thought I started using this 2005 but just remembered
that I also came across it in 1999 in the university computer
pool. I found the scene file and rerendered it now.
The object appears to have a problem with the lower lathe
end points, probably also was the case back then but maybe
I rendered it such a low resolution it wasn't apparent ;)
Object is a convex body of constant width (two parallel
planes touching opposite sides will have same distance from
each other no matter what orientation, basically some sort
of generalization of a sphere).

Here's mine. Rendered in 1999 on a pentium 133mhz with 16mb ram (might have been
32, can't find my old webpage). Render time wasn't that bad.
I even have the scene file!

My really first image was a small doodle with an irregular prism using
Moray in early October 1995, but unfortunately, it has not survived the
countless system crashes since then.
My oldest preserve PoV-Ray image is attached here: a scanned (therefore
the poor quality with visible bends in the paper) hardcopy of a scene
showing the Spinghar mountain range in eastern Afghanistan, dating from
1996 and made with PoV-Ray 2.2 and Moray 1.3. Note the ugly "rice
terraces" indicating that back then, I did not yet understand how
heightfields really work... but that improved with the subsequent
attempts at Khyberspace!

I think this was on a 33mHz Celeron...

You probably mean 333 MHz... I can't remember any Celerons with
two-digit CPU clock frequencies!

I just did some archeological excavations on my hard drive to find a
single surviving WIP image of what probably was the first POV-Ray scene
I've ever created - a file called
D:\Altkram\Backups
(Preliminary)\Unsorted\Disk-Backups\Miscellaneous\Stuff\Disk 010\BILLARD.PCX
being a 320x200 PCX file dated 1993-08-16. I took the liberty to convert
the image to a 800x600 PNG file to give you the original aspect ratio
and blocky look.
The image was most likely rendered on a 386 DX-40 machine (without
mathematical co-processor), using /some/ DOS version of POV-Ray
(presumably 2.0). As for the rendering time, I just recall it to have
been /awfully/ long.
