By: Tim Voght tvoght@indy.net Completed: 11/17/94 File Name: TVHAMSIC.JPG Programs Used: PovRay, PovCAD 4.0, raw2pov 1.8 Comments: The sickle blade was made with the help of the povCAD extrusion capabilities. povCAD was also used to lathe the handles. Raw2Pov was of course used to convert the .RAW output of povCAD to POV source. The .GIF for the sign was created in PaintBrush. I am not strong on textures and colors. All are straight out of the stock colors.inc and textures.inc. The wooden handles use DMFWood4. The sickle blade is LightSteelBlue (Shiny finish, I believe) and the hammer head is SteelBlue. The background cloth and sign can be seen in the scene file following. The final scene took 9 and a half hours to render on my 486sx (!!). I would love to hear any comments and criticisms from my peers. ---------------------------TVHAMSIC.POV-------------------------------------- #include "colors.inc" #include "textures.inc" #include "sickle.inc" // large triangular mesh file #include "hammer.inc" // " " plane { // cloth on table <0, 0, 1>, 0 pigment { color Red } normal { ripples .2 scale <20,20,20> } } box { // sale sign < 0, 0, 0 >, <8, 3.25, .01> texture { pigment { image_map { gif "sale.gif" // image is 488 x 198 pixels map_type 0 // thus the 8 x 3.25 ratio of sign once } } scale <8, 3.25, 1> } rotate < -37, 0, 0 > // scene placement translate <9,6,0> } object { sickle rotate < 0, -5, 0 > // mid blade touches table rotate < 0, 0, 10 > // scene placement translate < 6, 0, -.875 > } object { hammer scale < 1.5, 1.5, 1.5 > // original model wasn't big enough rotate < 0, 180, 0 > // and was backwards rotate < -3, 0, 0 > // end of handle touches table rotate < 0, 0, -30 > // scene placement translate < -4, 2, -.84375 > } camera { location <4, -9, -20> sky <0, 1, 0> direction <0, 0, 1> up <0, 1, 0> right <1.33, 0, 0> look_at <4, 11, 0> } light_source { <14, 11, -20> color White }
