HARDWARE USED: Anthon 1.2Ghz 256 Meg RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Lost in a POV dream. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I didn't have any idea what to do for this round. Way back when I first started to think about entering IRTC 'RUINS' was one of the topics I though about doing. But I could never settle on an idea. It seems the more things change the more they stay the same. I almost didn't enter this time. Then I was thinking of all that I've done in POV over the years and my work habbits. I usually come up with an idea, test it out, play with it and finally go on to something else. Hey! Just like a daydream. So I went back and looked through all my stuff and so started a scene putting things I found in it. Some of the objects I had use for other contest, some I even had forgotten about. I couldn't put everthing I've done before in it. But it does have a sampling of things I've made over the years. The WET PAINT was the first thing I did and the Chess set was the last object I made. SCENE : size: 800 * 600 antialias threshold .1 method 2 depth 2 radiosity The background: The old checker floor 3 different fog layers: I tried to use object media but got some wreid results with a spotlight Objects: Although all the object are old I had to go into their files and set them up so I coulld call them from the main File. primary: made with primary objects only Bowl: lathe: something to go with the spoons Bees:spheres,cylinders: an object from one of my first animations using POV Eyes: spheres: one of those objects made to test textures Mixed: mostly prizms, lathes CSG with primary objects Chess pieces: lathe,spheres, boxes: made for animation "Free Knght Out!" Spoons: lathe, sphere: Spacemen: lathe,spheres,cylinders Truck:prizm,cylinders,spheres: made for WINTER Hotrod:My first vehical Lizzers: Some thing found under a rock Misc: Trees: mesh: made for WINTER Earths: sphere and an image map: cann't remenber where I got it Beer cans: cylinder and an image mpa: map made with win 3.1 paint Spilled paint: blobs:an old include file I made lets you place a blob element just where you want Snowflakes: prizms Rain:image map: map made with win 3.1 paint Paper: two height fields intersected togather: Made for 'Ruins' although I never intered it. Epilogue: Sorry no zip file this time. But all those files are scattered everwhere. I had fun going through all my old files. I also learned something about ground fog, you can use negative numbers to tone layer fogs down a bit. Zip-File: NONE Feel free to E-mail me with any comments and or suggests.
