EMAIL: carl@gerg.tamu.edu NAME: Carl Perkins TOPIC: Science Fiction COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: POVray 3.00a.u TOOLS USED: XV for conversion from TGA to JPG RENDER TIME: about 40 hours HARDWARE USED: DEC 3000m600 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A temple, it's two defenders, an invading torus, and a bit of fire at one of the spheres coming from off screen. Unfortunately, the ground fog, which is actually a dust halo turns out to increase the render time by a factor of about 6. This is an earlier version than I had intended to send in - the newer version is still rendering even as I type this - so it is missing some elements. Nuts. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: By hand. Just a text editor and the occasional bit of paper. And lots of test renders.
