===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: This image doesn't really seem to relate to speed very much, except that speed is part of physics, but that seems fairly tenuous. Maybe it would make more sense if we could see what's written on the paper. Regarding your problems with AA, it's an adaptive technique so for some small details there's not enough information for pov to know it needs to super sample. The lines on the paper are an example of this, all the samples are often white so pov doesn't know there's meant to be a blue line between them. Anyway, the various solutions to this problem are: render the image much higher-res then resize afterwards, or use focal blur (it's slightly more robust than anti-aliasing), or blur the image maps in photoshop before applying them (this is like mip-mapping in real-time graphics, the amount of blur should be small enough that it doesn't look blurry in the rendered scene). ===== From zekaric@yahoo.ca: I think a little more work no the concept and this would have been better. Like maybe the physics texts open to a page about speed/velocity and a homework page showing some diagrams that are clearly speed related etc. Otherwise the idea of speed is somewhat lost. A little better modelling would benefit the image. ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: Dead off topic. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Reminds me a little bit of my first submission to the IRTC: = http://oz.irtc.org/ftp/pub/stills/1997-04-30/14doyour.jpg Your skills are not lacking. You have plenty of talent. It's clear = that you have all the skills necessary to come up with a dramatic and = interesting image. What you need are more inspiration (an idea for a = great image) and perserverence (taking the time to make your vision a = reality). ===== From file: notable for being able to read the first three chapters of the POV-Ray-Tutorials...
