TITLE: Life time on the beach NAME: Txemi Jendrix COUNTRY: Bilbao, Spain EMAIL: tji@txemijendrix.com WEBPAGE: http://www.txemijendrix.com TOPIC: Surrealism COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: lifetime.jpg RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.5 TOOLS USED: Moray 3.5 RC2, Hamapatch, SeaShell and Insert Code (plugins for Moray), Poser, Poseray, The Gimp. RENDER TIME: 20' 51'' HARDWARE USED: AMD AthlonXP 1700 Mhz, HD 30 Gb, 512 Mb DDR ram. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE IMAGE WAS CREATED: Sorry, I'm running out of time, and I'm writing this quickly. The models are made by me, except for the poser kid. The models were all made in Hamapatch except for the guitar case, the strange globe on the black tower and the house which are CSG. There is a heightfield on the dish to make the sea ground. The sea is a disc using media. The ground is made of 2 layers: - a plane with a normal and - a function pigment used in a heightfield. This last one was imported into the scene using the Insert Code plugin (by Luis). The seashells were made using the fabulous SeaShell plugin (by Philippe Gibone). There are 2 pointlights and 1 arealight in the scene. The scene was rendered using antialiasing 0.1. I used The Gimp to edit and to create the image maps, and also to add the title and the signature, to adjust the brightness and contrast and to convert from png to jpg. Hope you like it Txemi Jendrix 2003.
