Hi

can anyone please tell me how to create a heightfield using the f_ridged_mf
function.
I have read various things from around the web and from the POV
documentation but all of my results have been very strange.

Thanks in advance

Davey B

Coded on the fly:

#include "functions.inc"

camera {
    location <0,5,-10>
    look_at 0}

light_source {<50,50,-50> rgb 1}

height_field {
    function 500,500 {
        pigment {function {
f_ridged_mf(x,y,z,
0.05,// H
2.8,// Lacunarity
6,// Octaves
0.7,// Offset
0.9,// Gain
3//P5
) } }}
pigment {rgb 1}
translate -0.5
scale <10,2,10>
    }

Thanks JRG

I am trying to make some nice realistic looking water.
My efforts are not going too good atm but I will continue experimenting.
Currently I am getting troughs where I want ridges and vice versa.

Thanks again

F_ridged_mf is very indicated for that purpose.
Funnily I copy-pasted the settings for the function from this scene:

But large heightfields are very memory consuming and don't look always that good. For
the image above I used an isosurface.

That is a fantastic image, I have seen it before but it still amazes me when
I see it.

I have not used iso-surfaces yet (in fact this is the first time I have had
a tinker with functions) but it is something I really should try and get my
head round.

If you feel like giving any hints I would be very appreciative.

Naah. It's a one-day-project abandoned that same day for lack of ispiration.

I've posted the code for the sea to povray.binaries.scene-files (but it doesn't look
exactly the same with this beta).
Hope this helps. :)
