RENDERER USED: Povray 3.0 TOOLS USED: RENDER TIME: 8hrs 32min HARDWARE USED: P-90 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The porch itself was modelled after my grandmother's house. Not quite the same, but very similar. For the floor planks, I used a heightfield instead of boxes, because it was quicker to do it that way. Same goes for the planks of the bridge. I used Povray to make all the heightfields and tweaked them in Photoshop. I used a slightly flattened sphere for the sky and added a white fog to have the landscape fade into the distance. The weaving pattern of the chair was also a heightfield. I used two crisscrossed gradient patterns to make it. This scene takes a long time to render because of the area lights. Any other questions, just e-mail me.
