TITLE: Baikal's mood NAME: Oleg Oskolkov COUNTRY: Turkmenistan EMAIL: oskolkov@online.tm WEBPAGE: None TOPIC: Wilderness COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: oobaikal.jpg RENDERER USED: Megapov 0.4 TOOLS USED: Terrain Maker 1.1 (heightfields) RENDER TIME: 5 hours HARDWARE USED: Celeron 400 MHZ, 96 RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Immense expanses of Russia. Siberia. Deep taiga. Baikal lake. The deepest lake on the planet. The cleanest water. Who knows all about Baikal's thoughts? Who can understand it's mood? The man? No! He is too proud about himself. His head is raised too high. He does not want to understand anyone. He does not want to understand even himself. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I think this image is most complex among images rendered from most simple source texts. Excluding usual components like heightfields, sky and water, this scene consists of cylinders only. I mean all flora: trees, grass and bushes. There are about 90000 cylinders. At the same time, the size of all source texts is only 17 KB, where real working macros is only 6 KB and the rest are only parameters for the macros. Of course, excluding standard inc files for colors and textures. The complexity of the scene achieved by fractal algorithms. All source texts are not well-organized, so I am not ready to make it public accessible. Anyone interested can contact me.
