TITLE: Broke(n) NAME: Gregor Rudolf COUNTRY: Slovenia EMAIL: gregor.rudolf@irts.si TOPIC: Glass COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: broken.jpg ZIPFILE: broken.zip RENDERER USED: povwin 3.0 TOOLS USED: Moray, PaintShop Pro RENDER TIME: 5 hours, 10 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium 150/48MB RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: It's early morning and the sun just rose up after a long, long night. The evening started well, but now some are broke and some are broken. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Everything in scene is CSG because the Bezier patches just didn't came out OK. I used Moray for modelling and then hand-tweaked the scene. I don't know how and why, but the rendering time felt from 13 hours before tweaking to 5 hours after it. Hmm, maybe it was just the computer that worked faster... ;) The imagemaps for cards (included in .zip file as jpgs) were scanned with PaintShop Pro, except the card backs which were drawn. Of course, the 2 of clubs doesn't exist in a poker game, but I had to put it in because of its special meaning. ;) I was having many problems with caustics - the light that is coming trough the glass was too strong or wasn't visible at all, especially the light coming from the 'sun'.
