JPGFILE: babeldrm.jpg ZIPFILE: babeldrm.zip RENDERER USED: MegaPov3 TOOLS USED: mkseed.exe by Jean-Michel Soler for randomise. ColorPicker was created by Jamis Buck for the color. Cut and paste Gilles Tran's MakeTree. ACDSee for convert jpg. PaintShopPro for signature RENDER TIME: 9h42mn16s HARDWARE USED: PII350 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Because it's difficult to create trees, I take a long time to find an idea for the garden! My co-worker said "Make a wheelbarrow !" Lol. Why not ? And the concept was clarified. I dedicate this image to Ron and Julie. "A little babel dream in the flower garden building !" DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Three planks, one wheel, and two sleeves for the wheelbarrow. CSG and CSG for the minarets. And an isosurface for their texture. function { y-cos(sqrt(x*x+z*z))+sin(exp(cos(x)) *exp(cos(x))*cos(exp(cos(z)))) } in pigment and normal ! Yeah my first Isosurface! I use mkseed for randomise the color and the level of the trees. I do file I/O text (my frist too) for recover the number of each image in a animation (50 frames ), just to find the right color and the good tree in the loop! (It is clear ?). At last weary I put in hand-operated the number 400 ! I cut and paste the Gilles Tran's MakeTree code, and add my little fashion. One light with random color are backside each windows I use the photon statement (first too too) and I don't sure if the difference are visible ! Thanks for Pov Thanks for MegaPov
