Cameron COUNTRY: USA EMAIL: mcameron@bsc.edu WEBPAGE: http://mc1.bsc.edu/mcameron TOPIC: Landmarks COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: throne.jpg ZIPFILE: throne.zip RENDERER USED: povray 3.1 TOOLS USED: RENDER TIME: 10 minutes 45 seconds HARDWARE USED: Compaq DeskPro 300Mhz 64MB RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Yet another possibilty of what St. John really saw in Revelations. The throne of God is definitely a landmark in the city of new Jeruselum. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The "throne" is composed of four height fields. The waterfalls are made of spherical blobs. The spherical components somewhat follow the the equation y=-10*x^2, -0.5 <= z <= 1.0. Some what because there are small random values added to the results. The textures are modifications of the textures provided in the include directory of povray. To those of you looking at my source, I had orginally planned volcanos in this scene but modeling realistic fire was not working out for me ........hence the extreme amount of commented out code.
