TITLE: Bi_re NAME: Fran_ois Dispot COUNTRY: France EMAIL: wozzeck@club-internet.fr TOPIC: Glass COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: biere.jpg ZIPFILE: biere.zip RENDERER USED: Povray 3.0 TOOLS USED: --- RENDER TIME: about 18 days HARDWARE USED: Cyrix P166+ IMAGE DESCRIPTION: What is the real question? Do you prefer glass or the drink within? I made my choice, but yours is free. And you may even choose what you want to have inside. Sad people will say that true Guinness is nearly opaque. That is true, but, and this is the only time I will do it, I will prefer my clear beer! INI file options: Antialias=On Sampling_Method=2 Antialias_Depth=2 Antialias_Threshold=0.2 DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I had this idea a long time ago, in fact about four years. But at this time, my Amiga 4000/030 did not allow me to ray-trace this scene properly. My brand-new Cyrix is about 40 times faster, and this is how I could see a picture I have long thought about, without seeing it. When I saw the subject of the IRTC, I picked down all my stuff, and reworked nearly everything in the scene. The less modified object may be the mug itself. Maybe in ten years, I'll add radiosity and depth of field... Everything here was designed by hand, even the blobs ans letters. The only exception is the label, which did not demand very powerful tools!
