TITLE: Exploring Alien Ruins NAME: Tim Bocek COUNTRY: United States of America EMAIL: orkybash@jetcity.com WEBPAGE: http://www.jetcity.com/~kbocek TOPIC: Ruins COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: tbalruin.jpg ZIPFILE: tbalruin.zip RENDERER USED: Pov Ray for Windows TOOLS USED: Moray for Windows, Nathan Kopp Lense Flare Plugin RENDER TIME: 4 hours, 20 minutes 17 seconds HARDWARE USED: Pentium III/450 mz, 64 mb ram, high color display IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A spaceship exploring the ruins of a long-dead alien civilization. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Most of the image is primitives. The ruins are made up of torri and cylinders, the ship is composed of superquadrics and tapering sweeps. A simple fog is used to create the nebula effect. The stars are mapped onto a sphere that enompasses the scene. I would have used the Galaxy plugin, but support for that was dropped in Moray 3.2 :( And of course, the flares from the engine lights are created with the Nathan Kopp flare plugin.
