TITLE: Blobhouse NAME: Maarten Hofman COUNTRY: USA (Originally the Netherlands) EMAIL: maarten_hofman@hotmail.com WEBPAGE: http://people.zeelandnet.nl/whhofman/jen TOPIC: Architecture COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: blobhous.jpg ZIPFILE: blobhous.zip RENDERER USED: Povray 3.5 TOOLS USED: * Adobe Photoshop 6.0 (to convert to JPG) * WinZip (to create the zip file) RENDER TIME: 10 00 HARDWARE USED: Pentium IV 1.8 GHz IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A house made of a blob, causing interesting texture mixes and wall shapes. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Due to some visits of people I had less time then I would've liked. I first created a map of the house, and then tried three different approaches to creating the blob. This was the final one, which looked fine. I wanted to add more scenery, but because of lack of time it is just a simple sea (the garage is obviously for a boat). As with my other raytraces: the sharp shadows are intentional.
