"Midsummer Night's Dream" by Bob Belas EMAIL: Belas@umbi.umd.edu NAME: Bob Belas TOPIC: Summer COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: Povray for Windows (PovWin), Beta, V15 TOOLS USED: "Terrain Maker" was used for the heightfield, "Trees" by Phil Drinkwater was used to make the vegetation, "Wcvt2pov" by Keith Rule was used to convert the DXF female model to Raw data, Moray2 by Lutz and Kretzmar was used to produce a working scene, and "Texture Magic" by Scott Pultz was used for some of the textures. I have lost the name of the artist who made the DXF model, but thank him/her for it's use. RENDER TIME: 2h 20m 47s HARDWARE USED: Pentium 90, Windows NT3.51 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This is my impression of a scene from Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" perhaps mixed with just a little of Woody Allen's "A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy" . The scene shows the nymph Ariel sitting by a placid pool in a secluded glade at twilight, just as a full moon is rising in the East. I was hoping to convey the ethereal quality that is so apparent in each of those plays, using a pasteral landscape and luminescent nymph as a means tools. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I sketched the scene freehanded then started to develop a model with Moray. Individual parts were constructed, tested, then placed into the final scene. Place markers for trees were used in the Moray model because of the rendering overhead the tree ".inc" files take.
