EMAIL: b.b.boelens@student.utwente.nl NAME: b.b.boelens TOPIC: Summer COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TOOLS USED: Adobe Photoshop for TGA -> JPG RENDERER USED: povray 2.2 RENDER TIME: 55 minutes and 48 seconds HARDWARE USED: P-100 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: "Holliday" What is it ? Ooh,.. a boring summerday, somewhere in August. I take a sip of lemonade, watching what is going on at the beach/street. As you can see, nothing much really. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I've sent a previous POVray rendered scene to the POVray-contest, but was not really satisfied with it (WOFTB.JPG). It had too much violence in it, in my opinion. After a few days I decided to create a new scene. I had wild ideas,.. but I had to temper myself, since the contest would close the 31st of August. It forced me to keep it a bit sober/simple. Creating a scene in POVray takes a lot of time. (Placing the objects than doing a check by rendering it. Oooohh, I wish I knew how 3D-studio works, creating scenes would be much easier/faster than) So here it is, showing a boring day at my appartment in the summer. BTW. My friends here keep nagging all the time why I don't create real men/women...(You know what I mean.) I told them that the pictures might offend people, and even be rejected from the contest. (Kind of pornography, eh ?) So, in case you would like to ask me the same question, here's the answer : "I prefer to create John Bobbit creatures..... (lol)" Eh eh, it was better to call the former scene "BRAHW". (Bobbit Running After His Wife..) Have fun on this POVray-site and enjoy also the pics of other creators / raytrace-artists. Bernard B. Boelens P.S. In the enclosed zipfiles are all the objects. Rendering a 320*200 pic took me approx 5 minutes. Sorry, but didn't had enough time to translate all object names in English/American. So,. if you want to see what is what,.. just delete it and see what you get after rendering, and see for yuorself what the missing part was/is.
