TITLE: Five empty hearts NAME: S_ren L_tzen COUNTRY: Denmark EMAIL: lutzen@vip.cybercity.dk TOPIC: Glass COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: 5hearts.jpg ZIPFILE: 5hearts.zip RENDERER USED: PoV 3.0 TOOLS USED: Moray 2.5 RENDER TIME: 4 hours 55 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium-75 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The idea to my image slowly developed after a bunch of ideas, I had to realize, couldn't be realized in the real world (PoVray-real-world). It depicts five empty hearts of glass having only some golden threads to chraracterize them. And then one different heart. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Moray was used for the introductory phase of this image, but then I had to do the finetuning by oldtime handwork. The not-empty heart is a rotat-sweep filled with a halo and some rotate-sweep-tears. The trees are cylinder- bezier-patches where the oak-texture is supplied with dents and a portion of c-rand. Some portion of distant low-based groundfog makes the ground and the horizon become foggy much in the same way as a focal blur would do, but without the disadvantages I have experienced with the focal blur. The skysphere is a standard skysphere with a special colormap and some turbulence added. I have added the scene-file in the zip-file, but it's not very beautiful to look at.
