EMAIL: dushan@ksp.sk NAME: Dusan Bezak TOPIC: Worship COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: The Dwarves Mass Scene COUNTRY: Slovakia WEBPAGE: http://www.st.fmph.uniba.sk/~6bezak/ (only in Slovak language) RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.1g (with special enhancements) TOOLS USED: Corel PhotoPaint (signature & jpeg) RENDER TIME: approx. 4 hours HARDWARE USED: AMD 850 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: It is a mass scene in the meaning of large amount of objects, as well as a mass service that takes time currently. It needs some time to recognize all objects in the scene... DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I made a special mass-scenes (scenes with lot of objects) generation enhancement to the standard POV-Ray language, which is used to layout large amounts of objects into the scene (the stalactites, the dwarves) so that they are on desired places and not overlapping, etc. The cave walls, stalagmites, stalactites are made of blobs, as well as the central structure. The diamond is an intersection of cubes. The coat of each dwarf is made of bezier patches, the cap consists of a few cones. I'm submitting all sources, but they won't run under the normal standard POV-Ray, because of the special mass-scene-modeling techniques. If you are interested, I'll publish the altered POV-Ray at the time it will be finished (in two months, I hope) on my webpage.
