EMAIL: abehind@islandnet.com NAME: Abram Hindle TOPIC: Science Fiction COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: Povray 3.0 TOOLS USED: Moray, Blob Sculptor, Paint Shop Pro (heightfields etc.), lparser RENDER TIME: around 7 hours HARDWARE USED: 686 120+ IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The Image consists of a Human Agent attacking a group of stranded enemy aliens. One Alien is working on another alien lying on the table. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I like to make alien models and live models of things in MORAY, so I took some of those model and put them together in a scene. I originally planned a big big big fight scene but moray messed up the povray source code so it became impossible to render :(. After much annoyance I made this scene of aliens and the human. I like to use blobs for large parts of the body because it gives it detail while still resembling a blob-like organic look. After moving and placing them carefully in the scene I tried to use Lparser but found that Moray didnt like large raw triangle files so I had to reduce the recursion rate to compensate. It allowed me to put a couple of trees in the background. The heightfields I make with PSP using the spray paint and it's different textures. I'm not including the Raw Triangle files because they are to big, you can always rem out that one line of code anyways :). I'd prefer if you ASKED before you use my human/alien models because I worked hard on them :)
