Onome Okuma ripclaw@cc.gatech.edu Programs: POV-ray 2.2: Pentium Optimized Compile Adobe Photoshop 3.0 Image: oosunfir.jpg Process: This is my attempt to create the Marvel Comics character Sunfire from the X-Men. For those of you who don't collect comics this is the Sunfire from The Age of Apocalypse storyline from the X-titles. I got the idea for this image from a drawing I did of the same character. I think character creation, especially human characters is very difficult using Povray due to being primarily constrained to the simple primitives. I created Sunfire from only simple primitives. No modellers were used, just povray and a little graph paper. The overall process was pretty tedious but worth it. The final version that I submitted was not what I originally wanted to do with this image, but due to time constraints I had to cut things short. I will probably return to this image later and create a different scene to place the character in. There was a little post processing done to this image, which is probably obvious. The two lens flares and a little blur was added to the image for effect. There are several include files that go with this image that I did not upload. If anyone has questions about them feel free to email me. The final render took 13 mins 47 secs on a Pentium 100 with 24 megs of ram in Win95.
