TITLE: d Mysterious Doors NAME: D.D. EMAIL: Densz@prontomail.com TOPIC: Mystery COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: dmd.jpg RENDERER USED: Pov-Ray for Windows v3.5 TOOLS USED: Spatch, Hamapatch and Formati9(for conversion to jpg) RENDER TIME: 16m 26s HARDWARE USED: Pentium 200Mhz IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A cowboy came to a remote motel, after riding aimlessly for many hours. He shouted to see if anyone was there but only the echoes of his voice were heard. After tying his horse, he slowly walked to the nearest door on the right. Carefully, he opened the door no. 4..Click!.. It was unlocked! Nervously, he peeked into the room...... To his shock, he saw the front porch where his horse was tied from the second level of the motel! (This povray scene is inspired from those classic silent comedy movies when a guy is being chased by a group of other guys in a building with many adjacent rooms. The funny part was when the guy went into one room and surprisingly came out from another room. The chasing party will do the same too and this cat and mouse chase in so many 'mystery' doors will go on until the guy will probably run down the stairs). DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The models are done in Spatch. All the wooden textures are taken from woods.inc found in povray 3.5 using gradients. Syksphere is used for the sky. The ground consists of OldGold bumps. The water that the horse is drinking from is DarkSlateGrey ripples. The texts in the scene are from the timrom.ttf and crystal.ttf and positioned accordingly. Finally a yellowish fog is used for that eerie effect. There are 3 lights to the scene. :O)
