TITLE: The Dwarves Mass Scene
COUNTRY: Slovakia
WEBPAGE: http://www.st.fmph.uniba.sk/~6bezak/ (only in Slovak language)
RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.1g (with special enhancements)
TOOLS USED: Corel PhotoPaint (signature & jpeg)
RENDER TIME: approx. 4 hours
HARDWARE USED: AMD 850

IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

It is a mass scene in the meaning of large amount of objects, as well as a mass
service that takes time currently.

It needs some time to recognize all objects in the scene...

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

I made a special mass-scenes (scenes with lot of objects) generation enhancement
to the standard POV-Ray language, which is used to layout large amounts of objects
into the scene (the stalactites, the dwarves) so that they are on desired places
and not overlapping, etc.

The cave walls, stalagmites, stalactites are made of blobs, as well as the central
structure.

The diamond is an intersection of cubes.

The coat of each dwarf is made of bezier patches, the cap consists of a few cones.

I'm submitting all sources, but they won't run under the normal standard POV-Ray,
because of the special mass-scene-modeling techniques. If you are interested, I'll
publish the altered POV-Ray at the time it will be finished (in two months, I hope)
on my webpage.
