TITLE: Quentulus Quazgar COUNTRY: England WEBPAGE: http://www.jimbobjim.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.5 TOOLS USED: POV-Ray 3.5 Poser 3 PoseRay 2.6 Terragen WorldMachine IrfanView RENDER TIME: 1 Hour and a bit HARDWARE USED: AMD-K6 350MHz, 192Mb, Windows98 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Arthur and Fenchurch carry Marvin to the Quentulus Quazgar Mountains to see God's final message to his creation. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The height field was generated in Terragen and then passed through several errosion filters in WorldMachine to give that water eroded (fluvial?) look. The sky is just a semi-transparent plane, which lights up when lit from above and is used with radiosity. After much web searching and downloading for a decent robot to use in Poser as Marvin, I settled on the Poser 3 stick figure...Arthur and Fenchurch are also standard P3 people. This scene is by no means finished due to a sudden and sustained outbreak of real life. Many things remain to be done, (dust, footprints, 30ft letters of fire) but the deadline is only a few hours away and the scene doesn't look so bad (I hope anyway). The source contains a low-res image of the HF and the mesh for Marvin. Thanks and good luck everyone! jim
