EMAIL: bertram.henze@t-online.de NAME: Bertram Henze TOPIC: Catastrophe COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: The Wave COUNTRY: Germany WEBPAGE: www.hologence.de RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.5 TOOLS USED: RENDER TIME: approx. one week HARDWARE USED: Pentium Notebook, w2k IMAGE DESCRIPTION: "The seismic forecast had not been good - 85% probability of bottom dropout from the midatlantic ridge meant it was the wrong day for sailing beyond the beacon line - but he had made the mail boat tour to the Kroozle rocks for over twenty years now, every day. This day, however, was different; where had all the seagulls...? What!? FULL STEAM AHEAD! LARBOARD RUDDER!" This is basically a tilted version of an older picture of mine - the ocean and the boat are tilted, that is, everything else is left upright. Also, more spray was added. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The sea is an isosurface, shaped with a 2-dim granite function, tilted for the large wave effect. The white spray and stack smoke are spherical isosurfaces with noise3d functions. The rocks are julia fractals. The beacons and boat are all CSG. The sky is a standard one from skies.inc
