RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 2.2 TOOLS USED: Paint Shop Pro 3.0, CorelDraw 4.0 - for creating height fields RENDER TIME: 23.5 hours HARDWARE USED: Gateway2000 486 DX2-66 with 8 megs of RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Many say the Grand Canyon was made with a litle water and a lot of time. Others say it was a lot of water and a little time. If the former is true, than the grand canyon represents many years gone by. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I used Paint Shop Pro 3.0 to create a black and white image used as the height field for the canyon. I used Corel Draw 4.0 to create a black and white image for the sundial text which was also extruded as a height field. I then used POV-Ray 2.2 to render the image. The clouds and canyon fog where created using multiple layers of bozo pigment. The texture for the canyon is a stone from the Stones.inc file. The water is a dark blue plane with bumps, high reflection, and no diffusivity. I also did one using the lates Pov3.0 beta version to make use of the halo's and ground fog. I found that I was able to get more realistic effects just by using multiple layers of the 2D bozo pigments in this case.
