EMAIL: michael.hazelgrove@virgin.net NAME: Mick Hazelgrove TOPIC: Elements COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: The Four Elements COUNTRY: UK WEBPAGE: http://freespace.virgin.net/michael.hazelgrove/index.htm RENDERER USED: Pov Ray v.3, TOOLS USED Vue d'esprit2,Corelpaint 7 RENDER TIME: 2hr 05mins HARDWARE USED: 300mhz Pentium 2 with 128mb ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Earth, water fire and air, bound together with magic. Man the ultimate product of the four elements, juggles them in the hope of creating new forms. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The ground was an image map imported from Vue d'esprit 2 and re textured in povray. The lake is a simple plane. The sun mist and atmosphere are straight forward. The figure is a csg object. The hands started as an anatomically correct CSG construction but did not look right at such a small scale so they have been changed to look ok and are no longer correct from any other position. The monoliths are Julia fractals but the ring of stones were imported as individual arches from the net.
