TITLE: Water1 - Night view COUNTRY: Argentina WEBPAGE: RENDERER USED: POV-RAY 3.1 TOOLS USED: Paint Shop Pro 5.01 RENDER TIME: +/- 2 hours HARDWARE USED: '486, 16MB RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I am a admirer of POV-Ray 3, but cannot say I am an expert (it shows in the source code I guess). Anyway, I wanted to give a dynamic element to the water, so I did the following: * I wrote a Pascal program which simulates the trajectory of the water drops, with wind, and certain randomness in speed. This program generates a .BMP like a photo taken with an electronic flash - static. * Then I uses PSP to add motion blur (GIFs included) * This was imported in POV.
