TITLE: A Day in the Life... NAME: Sean O'Malley EMAIL: ffrog@geocities.com WEBPAGE: http://www.geocities.com/~ffrog TOPIC: History COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: adayin.jpg RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.1 for Windows '95 TOOLS USED: Moray, Paint Shop Pro (Heightfields/BMP-JPG) RENDER TIME: 6:42:06 RENDER TIME: ETC! HARDWARE USED: Cyrix 300 Mhz / 48 megs RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A caveman (Grog?) wakes up groggy and fuzzy-eyed and takes a look at his daily planner. What to do today? (One of history's great turning points, obviously.) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: This has the most realistic stereotypical caveman rock I've ever made. :) This whole image is basically heightfields. The cave drawing in the background was drawn by hand and stuck on as a partially-transparent (transmitting) GIF image. The stone tablet was made by hand, as well as the rock it sits on. Rendering took an UNBELIEVABLY long time because of two things: The area light and focal blur. (I LOVE focal blur! Too bad it obscured most of my hard work...)
