Anyone willing to volunteer to make a new POVNOW button for 3.1 ? (Actually,
it'd be best to leave the .1 off and just make it '3'). Something of the same
size as the old one (http://www.povray.org/images/pov3now.gif) but updated a
little (maybe a new design?)

Just call it a small contest ... say something like three days to enter
and the winner gets a free copy of POV-ray. :-)

P.S.: I will try my best (sure somebody comes up with something
better!).

A Quickshot!

A cone, a torus and a sphere over a checkered plane traced at 400 x 400
and inserted into the old logo. Erased the 3.0 and set the 3.

Très bon! Excelent image. It will probably win. I will post mine too though.

Post a reply to this message

As always, I am willing to help all I can. Here is my rendetion of a replacement.
As you'll notice there are some slightly plagerized tones in it. This is just a
quick draft put together this afternoon. I hope you like it. It obviously has
room for improvement. Although, after seeing Fabien's image, it almost seems
stupid to post this. Here' goes nothing... =)

PS: The last shape is a yellow torus. I hope you see it well. I think I should
change the color.

Forgot to mention. The image is divided entirely into layers, with alpha channels for
everything (except primitives), so it can be completely redesigned quickly for mods
or future versions. The image is actually 478x170 and looks great at that size. Made
with Adobe Photoshop and POV. Just in case you wanted to know. :)

Here's another. Used same dimensions, 88 by 31; odd size isn't it? Oh
well. Like the 3 I've seen so far, keep them coming guys. I kinda
dislike the current one, probably because it lacks a mirrored sphere.

And here's the animated one.
30 frames, 15 frames rendered which is POV-Ray stuff. 44K file size.
PSP Animation Shop was used to compile the animation with added "stained
glass" lightbeam effect to the last frame, extended to 15 more frames.
Although the looping is somewhat lost by doing this the small embedded
animation didn't exactly loop anyhow since to get a large amount of
movement smooth enough didn't work out for this particular thing (the
checkered plane and mirrored sphere) so I had it appear to reach the
surface and begin again.
There may be better ways, but this is the quickly done version.

My schoolmates pointed out to me today that every single part of the Intel logo
is registered, trademarked or copywrited in some way, so this one is definitely
out. I'm going to try to make another one soon.

Post a reply to this message

Here's the new one. It's completely separated and modifyable. For sake of having a
little border, I expanded the image by 2 pixels in X and Y, so it's currently
92x34. I hope you like it. I think it should be borderless. Anyhoo...

Hi Bob,

    I love the scattering media in there, and I prefer the animated to the still
version
 although no doubt I'd have added sound ;-) ). Not sure about the pink and green
though.

Um, not media in it at all, just a PSP 5 animated gif effect. And it's
red and green lights diffusing on the top and bottom. No pink intended.
I tend not to like any of mine the moment I'm done with them, there's
always something to fix.

Updated mine, however I need to get the "POV-Ray" font larger, well, not
larger as much as bolder. The lack of thickness makes it difficult to
see correctly, as has been duely noted.
3K file size on this one. Animated version to follow as reply to this

Thanks for commenting Phil.
I get what you mean, then I'd have the shadow helping it. There is a
shadow where the tiny image is though it doesn't show.
I like the font, it's Park Avenue, except the bold is not much good. The
size overall can be increased but would not gain much thickness even at
the larger size. I even tried a slightly scaled up secondary one for use
as backdrop and it didn't help enough. I'll either quit this one or come
up with yet a better font method.

Very regrettable!  I had a good laugh about that "POV ///" !

<CPU flame on>
However, it could have lead people to think that POV 3 was just
POV 2 with a few useless additionnal functions, at twice the price ;)
<CPU flame off>

I still have that if you want it. I don't just delete a file when I change something.
That one is available in 478x170 if you like.

No way!! It looks as though a light source is passing from left to right behind the
text,
casting rays towards the camera in a scattering media. How on earth did you get that
effect if not with the method described above?

Yep, you can check out a demo of PSP 5 with the Animation Shop and see
for yourself if you haven't seen it already. Trial of 30 days on it, I
just bought this last week. Here's the site:

I think it fits the Windows version very well. Maybe platform specific
POV-Ray buttons would be a good idea so as to direct people to the

Okay, 3rd one of 3 (pun, arg!)
I realize the suggestion was of a "Now" instead of "Get" sort of button.
I was going to stop with this one here however I could easily rearrange
and do a Now! button. So, expect a possible fourth from me if I manage
to do it right, then I'll stop ;)
Animated button follows this post, as usual.

It is indeed pretty but it also took 13.5 sec. to load from this server.
I prefer fast loading web sites and can do without the wait even if it
means sacrificing the extra pretty animated version.

Yeah, well, it is the 256 color "best" version. It could be dropped to

This time it took 26 sec. to load from this server. It may have stalled

I meant that as well, those shapes that are used in the Windows version
is the "platform" relationship I was intending. They show much better in
the latest non-intel button too. Funny how it didn't occur to me about
the blue handdrawn circle thing and three slashes being a trademark of
any kind anyway. Guess I pay little attention to those things.
