TITLE: Birth of a city NAME: Philippe Jacqueroux COUNTRY: France EMAIL: Jacqueroux@infonie.fr WEBPAGE: http://www.multimania.com/artphil/ TOPIC: City COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: citybirt.jpg RENDERER USED: POV, Terragen, TOOLS USED: Forester, Moray. RENDER TIME: 1/2 Hour HARDWARE USED: PII 350 64mo. IMAGE DESCRIPTION: First, i want to contrast and stress-off all readers, a dream village after all that Dark City. But beware, for some people that "city" will be a real stress, far from technology :-}. I know that this picture is not really on the topic, but get it as a water glass on the desert of the city world ! DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: First, i create and render a heigfield in terragen. Two, i create somme object under moray (road, wood blok, dog(yes very small).... third i create special include file of that object for forester. Third i use forester to put all object on the heighfield surface, and render it with pov. What was really hard is to mix, terragen terran and pov object and keep good quality. But i think the result is quite ok. I do not have enough time to put different sort of trees and house to improve the picture. I do not include the zip file because it was about 15 mo for all. (terragen heightfield, mapping pictures, includes files etc..) If you are interrested in , feel free to mail me.
