TITLE: Ships of the desert in a sea of sand NAME: Alan Whitehead COUNTRY: Scotland EMAIL: alan.whitehead@totalise.co.uk WEBPAGE: http://www.alanwhitehead.co.uk TOPIC: Sea COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: camel.jpg ZIPFILE: camel.zip RENDERER USED: Povray 3.1g TOOLS USED: Moray 3.2, Paintshop Pro 6 (text and jpg conversion) RENDER TIME: 4 minutes 30 seconds HARDWARE USED: Pentium II 350MHz with 128Mb RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I thought I would try a different slant on the subject, getting away from an obvious water scene hence the camels (ships of the desert) walking through the sand dunes. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The desert is heightfield (hf1.tga) generated from hf1.pov, in addition to a bezier patch for the foreground dune. All the models were created in Moray mainly from sphere and torus primitives apart from bezier patches for the clothes and blankets. The camel's load is a superquadric. The Moray .mdl file has been included in the zip file.
