TITLE: Un Jardin dans un appartement NAME: Serge Bougrier COUNTRY: France EMAIL: sbougrie@ifremer.fr TOPIC: Gardens COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: sbapart.jpg ZIPFILE: sbapart.zip RENDERER USED: Povray 3.1g TOOLS USED: Fractint RENDER TIME: About 15 minutes HARDWARE USED: Celeron 333 Some years ago I bought a game, named " MINIBRIK ", to my youngest daughter. The aim of this game was to build some houses and a kind of garden. Started with Povray, my first scene was this garden. Until now, I tried to improve the rendering of such scene. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I decided to create all the elements of the scene by myself, without using some include files (Plants, Trees,Books that we can all find on internet) or freewares as Lparser. Nevertheless, I used a freeware (Fractint) for the creation of earth realised with hight-fields. The main difficulty for me was to create some new textures, so I modified some exciting ones. For the creation of the plants I was inspired by the include file Plant.inc from Mike Miller GAP1 scene. He used mainly INTERSECTION, I prefered DIFFERENCE. For zipping the files, I used a freeware named Rick's Planet Archive Manager (PAM.exe) you can find at http://www.samcool.com/ricksplanet
