TITLE: "HOME SWEET HOME" NAME: Marco Bucci COUNTRY: CANADA EMAIL: spoonman@cyberdude.com WEBPAGE: http://pov.home.ml.org TOPIC: NIGHT COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: robot.jpg RENDERER USED: POV RAY 3.0 TOOLS USED: Photoshop 3.0, CROSSROADS 3D, Truespace 2.0, Trees.inc 3.0, and Pov Ray 3.0 RENDER TIME: About 1 hour HARDWARE USED: 486 with 66 MHz. IMAGE DESCRIPTION: For the rather "slow", this image takes place on another planet, and shows a robot of some race standing on his dark planet staring at what appears to be planet earth. The thought of the robot at the current moment are unknown... DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I got the idea for the robot from Truespace's sample robot image. I created my own and saved it, and exported it into povray using crossroads 3d. The green ground of the planet is simply a green plane which I applied a bump map to. The texture maps for "Earth" was made using Photoshop 3.0 by mixing blue and green strips and then I added a blur-more filter. A shadowless, fading light was placed near the planet to light up the bumps and make it more appealing. The trees were made using trees.inc which is REALLY helpful. The "moon" is a stretched out sphere with a white pigment which is also bumb mapped (no light). I tried to add the illusion of being on another planet by the ground fog. I used a distance of 175 I think. Thank you.
