EMAIL: m93rfr@student.tdb.uu.se NAME: Robert Fredriksson TOPIC: Science Fiction COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: POV 3.0 TOOLS USED: chain.bas RENDER TIME: 98.5 h HARDWARE USED: PC 486 33mhz with 16Mb of memory IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This is realy a quite simple picture, but it looks good any way. It makes use of many of the cool things in POV 3.0 like: * Area lights to make soft shadows. (And to increase rendering time!) * Ground fog * Brick texture * Global ambient light * Anti_aliasing This, especially the anti_aliasing and area lights, makes the rendering time increase, but the picture realy shows what output quality POV 3.0 is capable of. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE IMAGE WAS CREATED:The entire picture was modelled by hand with CSG with exception for the chains which was created with a Quick BASIC program called chain.bas which i found somewhere (povray.org i think) on the net.
