JPGFILE: gate.jpg ZIPFILE: gate.zip RENDERER USED: Povray 3.02 TOOLS USED: Paint Shop Pro RENDER TIME: 17 mins 06 secs HARDWARE USED: Pentium P-120 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A cold February night somewhere in Cyberland. The fog is seeping across the land and the moon only exagerates the chill in the air. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: With blood, sweat and tears. I've only had Povray since late January so virtually everything is still very much experimental with me. I received the greatest amount of satisfaction from successfully rotating, scaling and translating the text on the grave stone; and the greatest amount of frustration with the door of the cottage and the pillar in line of sight. Texture {T_Grnt13a} appears to be somewhat transparent, adding a little noise combatted the problem only slightly. (HoHum!) All that PSP did was convert the TGA to a JPG.
