TITLE: Infant corner COUNTRY: South Africa WEBPAGE: RENDERER USED: Povray 3.0 TOOLS USED: Moray v2.5b RENDER TIME: 2 hours 14 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium150 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: What can I say? This is a first time experience for me so please don't laugh. I got the idea from a friend and the next day made the picture. My picture is the corner of a room of an infant. All his toys are lying everywhere after playtime and someone hasn't cleaned up yet. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I created everything in Moray v2.5b. Most of the objects were made of simple POV primitives, The Teddy's body was made of spheres and its arms were made of cylinders and spheres. The table was made out of boxes and the objects on top were made from cubes and spheres. The Ring Toy near the bottom left of the picture was made out of a cone with torus objects surrounding it. The box in the corner was a simple CSG difference between two boxes. The lid was another box and the objects inside the box were cubes and spheres. The Baseball bat next to the box was a Rotate Sweep object in Moray. The real things in my picture were the textures. All the textures were made using Moray. I tried really hard to make the textures look interesting by using weird types of turbulence and color maps. I rendered the final image with anti-aliasing at 0.05 and with Radiosity. The radiosity made the objects blend better together. BACKGROUND ON ME: I am a 16 year-old scholar currently attending Sutherland HighSchool in Pretoria, South Africa. Raytracing is new to me, I have only made small attempts to modify POV source code (adding lense-flares and such) but I mostly use MORAY to make all my scenes. I can program in Pascal so I should be able to master some POV source without much trouble. (Hopefully :> ) I really like raytracing (when my pictures turn out allright :> ) and I hope that this picture does OK in the IRTC... (since this is my first submission)
