EMAIL: gt2832b@prism.gatech.edu NAME: Joshua Humphries TOPIC: Science Fiction COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.0 TOOLS USED: Adobe Photoshop 3.0, Plasma v1.01 RENDER TIME: about 1 hour HARDWARE USED: 486DX4 120Mhz AMD, 16MB RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This image is of a ship which I modelled over a year ago for a video game (which has been 98% complete now for almost 7 months - I'll eventually get around to doing the other 2%). The ships are flying low in atmosphere through a valley (the height-field was generated using several filters in Photoshop and a plasma-cloud which I made with my own Plasma v1.01 utility) over a large body of water with a bright sunset in the background (boy, would a lens flare ever look good here...). DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I modelled the ship with Imagine 3.0 and exported as a DXF. Then some conversion utilities, created a large triangle mesh for POV-Ray. I made the height-field with a shareware utility I wrote a while back and altered it with Photoshop to get a valley... Everything else is pretty standard as far as rendering a sea landscape with POV-Ray...
