TITLE: tnyearth.jpg NAME: Mark Ritter COUNTRY: USA EMAIL: markelly7@mediaone.net WEBPAGE: na TOPIC: Worlds Within Worlds COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: tnyearth.jpg RENDERER USED: Povray 3.5 beta TOOLS USED: Moray, Povray, Corel PhotoPaint (for earth bitmap touch-up) RENDER TIME: forgot to look, but was about 1 hour HARDWARE USED: AMD Athlon XP 1700, 512M 2100DDR IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I was messing around with the isosurfaces in povray and came up with a really nice driftwood object that i wanted to use in something. The rest of the image took off from there. I wanted to use radiosity and layered clouds to achieve a realistic outdoors look. Textures are straight out of povray (the driftwood is actually one of the stone textures (T_Stone33). The Earth bitmap came from the web somewhere long ago and i don't think it was copyrighted. The metal/glass container were modeled in Moray. This was kindof a last minute thing because it had been a while since I entered anything...hope you like it and I welcome any feedback.
