===== Finally! Someone who *reads* science fiction instead of sitting numbly in front of the boob tube having pap shoveled down their throats! (Out of 207 images I've judged so far, I've only found about five or six that were inspired by books.) ===== Not really all that impressive. ===== all I can see is stars... ===== Nice idea, but it needs A LOT more detail to be made at all interesting as a picture. ===== I just finished rereading "Ringworld", and thought of doing something from it myself. I would have enjoyed seeing more elements in your trace... ===== I cannot see anything in this image. It is just a black screen with a few dots. Did something get lost in the translation thru the internet? ===== Thank you - I was hoping somebody would raytrace the Ringworld. It is what I wanted to do but didn't have the time. David Boudreau boudreau@why.net ===== All Right! I was hoping someone would do Ringworld! I've always wanted to do it. I may still... ===== BMRT, yay! Double yay! As soon as my copy of Renderman Companion arrives, I'm doing an entry with BMRT! This looks very authentic, just as I'd pictured it from the books. The soft shadow is especially nice. ===== Notable for textures
