JPGFILE: mg_asia.jpg ZIPFILE: mg_asia.zip RENDERER USED: POVRay for Windows v. 3.5 beta 9 under Windows 98SE 4.102222A TOOLS USED: Modeling: HamaPatch, Bryce4 terrain editor. Color Management: Pick'o'Color, PSP7.0 File Conversion: CrossRoads (from dxf to pov) Compression and signature: Corel Photopaint 8.0 ///version en Castellano al finalizar la version en ingles/// RENDER TIME: 0d 03h 17m 35s HARDWARE USED: Intel Pentium III 500MHz, 512 RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Chinese people has the ability of interact respectfully with Nature since its inception as a civilization. Their concept of balance is remarkable because it has endured -and surpassed- many obstacles. It's obviously other way of thinking, a different hierarchy of thoughts, or another concept of life. Architectural forms will integrate a philosophical representation of energy through colors and assigned shapes -different from the west. In this image, two bridges over the waters, flowing. Two houses and an interior and open environment. Lamps and objects, open to the elements. The image is a composition using many visual resources, all of them from photos and text available on the internet. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Almost everything is an object. The scene is reduced to a small portion of a terrain -an object- textured and scaled to fit the point of view. There is a water plane -barely visible- and architectural stuff. Few textures with image_maps created with PSP7.04, the rest are procedural. Trees are from Tomtree.inc, foliage was made in PlantStudio, and everything else was modeled in hamapatch. The POV-Ray Help section was especially useful, regarding the use of radiosity. NOTE: The source file does *not* include: terrain, wing and front bridge, because of their size= 9.5 Megs *Credits* Tomtree.inc by Tom Aust http://www.aust-manufaktur.de/austv2x.html Photos and Text http://www.sec.nl/persons/stals/nns97/grp03/htdocs/chinese/recreational.html#bri dge http://www.atlasmagazine.com/photo/laude6/shaanxi4.html http://web.uccs.edu/~history/index/generalasia.html http://www.gio.gov.tw/info/culture/culture.html /// Castellano RENDER TIME: 0d 03h 17m 35s RENDERER USED: POVRay para Windows v. 3.5 beta 9 en Windows 98SE 4.102222A TOOLS USED: Modelado: HamaPatch, Bryce4 terrain editor. Manejo de Color: Pick'o'Color, PSP7.0 Conversi_n de archivos: CrossRoads (from dxf to pov) Compresi_n y firma: Corel Photopaint 8.0 HARDWARE USED: Intel Pentium III 500MHz, 512 RAM DESCRIPCION DE LA IMAGEN: El pueblo Chino tiene la habilidad de inractuar respetuosamente con la Naturaleza desde su aparici_n como civilizaci_n. Su concepto de equilibrio es notable porque ha experimentado -y sobrepasado- muchos obst_culos. Es obviamente, otra manera de pensar, una jerarqu_a diferente en el pensamiento, u otro concepto de la vida. Las formas arquitect_nicas integrar_n una representaci_n filos_fica de la energ_a a trav_s del uso del color y ciertas formas -diferente de Occidente. En esta imagen, dos puentes sobre las aguas que corren. Dos casas, un ambiente interior y otro abierto. Las l_mparas y objetos, ante los elementos. La imagen es una composici_n que usa muchos recursos visuales, todos ellos provenientes de fotos y textos, disponibles en internet. DESCRIPCION DE COMO SE CREO LA IMAGEN: Casi todo es un objeto, es decir, ha sido modelado. La escena est_ reducida a una peque_a _rea de la superficie -otro objeto-, texturizado y escalado para encajar en el punto de vista escogido. Hay un plano con agua -escasamente visible- y cosas arquitect_nicas. Pocas texturas a base de im_genes -creadas con PSP7.0, las dem_s por procedimiento. Los _rboles -uno en realidad- proviene de Tomtree.inc, el follaje est_ hecho en PlantStudio y todo lo dem_s est_ modelado en hamapatch. La secci_n de Ayuda de POV-Ray fue especialmente _til, sobre todo en las variables de "Radiosity". NOTA: El archivo fuente NO incluye ni el terreno, ni el ala(arquitectura), ni el puente del primer plano; a causa de su tama_o= 9.5 megas. *Creditos* Tomtree.inc por Tom Aust http://www.aust-manufaktur.de/austv2x.html Fotos y Texto.
