TITLE: In the early Morning NAME: Tobias M_ller COUNTRY: Sweden EMAIL: tobias.moller@telia.com WEBPAGE: http://i.am/tobias_m/ TOPIC: The Wilderness COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: snstfld.jpg RENDERER USED: POV-ray 3.1 for Macintosh TOOLS USED: POV-ray for rendering and modeling, Gilles Tran's MakeTree and MakeGrass macros, Apple works 5 for adding signature and GraphicConverter for image conversion. RENDER TIME: 1 hour and 45 minutes. HARDWARE USED: iBook, 300 Mhz PowerPC G3 CPU IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I know it's there, somewhere. The gentle morning fog, the tree, and the big field of grass. I just have to find it... DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I used Gilles Tran's amazing MakeTree and MakeGrass macros for this, what can I say? They're great! I multiplied the grass patch 100 times along the z-axis and 41 times along the x axis, to create the field. Then I put in the tree, the fog, the sky sphere and the cloud plane, added an area light, and -voila! As "ground" I used a yellow plane. I made the textures myself, I'm happy with the leaf, grass and the sky, but the tree could be improved. I didn't want to rip off someone else's texture, so I tried to do my own, but... Anyway, "practice makes perfect" :-)
