JPGFILE: jbgarden.jpg ZIPFILE: jbgarden.zip RENDERER USED: UV-POV 6.2 for linux TOOLS USED: Paint Shop Pro, sPatch, the Gimp RENDER TIME: parse 16s, render 6h 16m 45s (@1024x768) HARDWARE USED: P-II 333MHz, 64Mo RAM, Linux IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This picture is for all the children who haven't seen anything else, and haven't had any other kind of garden than such a backyard. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I first placed everything using simple shapes (mostly cubes and a few cylinders), then I created an include file for each object in the picture. Each include file can be rendered on its own to work on the details of each object independently before inclusion in the final pic. I would like to thank SamuelT for his peeling paint texture which opened new horizons to me in the use of normals (his texture itself isn't used here since it requires the superpatch, but the first thing I did with it was to adapt it to standard pov, and that one is here), I also want to thank TonyB whose clouds provided a great starting point, and Gilles Tran for his window macro. And of course Nathan Kopp for giving us such a great patched version of pov.
