TITLE: Faerie Oasis NAME: Zylom COUNTRY: The Gryf Empire EMAIL: aatrgj@aol.com WEBPAGE: http://www.geocities.com/zhbkrb/Language.htm Comming Soon TOPIC: Sea COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION JPGFILE: awsey_ss.jpg ZIPFILE: awsey_ss.zip RENDERER USED: Povrey 3.0a TOOLS USED: The Metric Garden include, which I wrote RENDER TIME: about 4 hours HARDWARE USED: AMD 350 I think IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Well, Awsey (Pronounced like "Ozzy" but with a non-voiced "s") is a sea serpent, a south seas serpent to be exact, who I drew with a sepia colored pencil a year or so ago, and when I heard the contest was about the sea I redesigned him with manta ray like wings, cause I thought it'd look cool, and I think it does, so now I had a pencil drawing of him from 3 angles, and then I sat down and slaved over the math for about 5 hours, not consecutive, };->, I made some cool animations of Awsey swiming also, I'll put'm on my web site some time. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: It has some blobs and conic prisms, and alot of cylinders that got cut up to make the plant, and there are over 1000 bubbles in the scene file, but I cut out alot of them. Pretty much the only CSG is in his eyes and Beak, well, the plants are a cut out of two flat cylinders, and the box clips the Bubbles from going out of the water, the file I have this in has alot of other stuff in also, it's not fully animated yet, but day and night fades back and forth if the clock goes from 0 to 2. Also Awseys fins and tail and neck and eyes are linked to the clock. Dude, I'd love to get some e-mail, I've got friends for all my other hobbies, but I'm a solo ray tracer so far, IRTC looks like a good link to find some though.
