You can create landscapes in a couple of ways. You can use heightfields
where an image or function is used to create an uneven ground. Or you can
use iso-surfaces to describe the ground mathematically. Another way would

Landscapes are a topic on their own but there are quite a few Pov sites that
might help. Have a look at http://www.imagico.de/index.html for inspiration.

Dear Stephen,
I am very thankful for your help. I looked the link you mention, if I follow
his way to combine my dam, it will take long time to render because the
author used very complicated iso-surface. I have to make several hundered
pov images for generate dynamic image. I hope I have to use simple
iso-surface for my purpose. Can you give me some guideliness to use simple
iso-surface.

Thank you.

Renuka.

Hi Renuka, (I think that we can be informal here :-)

If you just want to show off your dam. Personally, I would try a hieghtfield
to start off with. I would generate a plasma fractal using Fractint and use
the saved image. Or try a free landscape generator that will give you a
mesh that you can use in Poveray. That would probably be your quickest way.


Oh! I see Mike beat me to it :-)

You don't want to post images in this group.
You'd better try on povray.binaries.images
AFAIK you post it just as you post a file with your mail client
