EMAIL: WLJG48E@Prodigy.com NAME: Daniel L. Isdell TOPIC: Time COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: PovWin 3 beta 13 TOOLS USED: POV3, Moray, Paint Shop Pro, and Corel Draw v.4.0 RENDER TIME: 3 hours 29 minutes 5 seconds HARDWARE USED: Pentium 60 Mhz. IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A heliochron (sundial) in a garden. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: This image is of a type of sundial called a heliochron or bowstring sundial. It was created with POVWin 3 Beta 13. The irises and curtains were modeled with Moray. The image maps for the poem and engraved numerals were created with Paint Shop Pro. The image maps for the leaf shadows and iris petals were created with Corel Draw v.4.0 and modified with Paint Shop Pro. Everything else was created with the text editor built into POVWin 3. The texture of the sundial is T_Brass5. The texture of the column is T_Stone8. The texture of the clapboards is a white pigment with the Wood texture applied as the surface normal to give the impression of woodgrain showing through the paint. The 1200 blades of grass and the iris leaves make extensive use of POV 3's new rand function and while loops to create random size, scale, rotation, translation and colors. The flagstone is created using the new Crackle texture. Let me know what you think. Dan Isdell
