TITLE: The magician NAME: Herve MARTIN COUNTRY: FRANCE EMAIL: hmartin@teaser.fr WEBPAGE: http://www.teaser.fr/~hmartin TOPIC: Magic COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: magic1.jpg ZIPFILE: magic1.zip RENDERER USED: Povray 3.01 for Windows TOOLS USED: Modeller - PovLab 4 - Poser 1.0 (the magician) and Wct2Pov for Raw conversion RENDER TIME: 3 hours 47 minutes HARDWARE USED: Cyrix P166 - 64 mo IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I find the Egyptian civilisation fascinating with its mysteries...perhaps also the influence of Stargate? DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: the complete scene was created with PovLab using the patch of 150 additionnal textures. I've created some clouds with ellipsoids and a semi-transparent cloudy texture I've used the option ultra-wide-angle for the camera (fov-135): that gives more dynamism to the image. The ground fog and the rainbow were added to produce an impression of mystery
