EMAIL: hue@earthlink.net NAME: Hugh Lim TOPIC: Science Fiction COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.0 for Mac TOOLS USED: None RENDER TIME: Forever! :) 3-4 days after i took out all the time consuming objects HARDWARE USED: Mac PowerBook '030(=386SX)/25MHz, no FPU IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The image describes an island, kinda in a computer perspective. I wanted to elaborate the picture a bit more, but my computer didn't allow it(took too long... if anyone has a computer to spare to a poor kid, drop me a line :) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Because of the speed of the computer, most of it was first sketched, and planned on a paper in detail. And then i just sorta put it all together and fixing the position, etc until i got it right... One thing i regret about the picture is that when i did the final render, i didn't know about the flaw (well..., not really a flaw) in the renderer called coincidental surface or whatever. The red spots at the bottom of the power plants should been continuous and smooth. i fixed the problem, unfortunately i had no time to render again. if you like the picture, you should render it again(probably bigger, too)... please send me a copy if you do.
