JPGFILE: povme.jpg ZIPFILE: povme.zip RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.1g.Linux.gcc TOOLS USED: NEdit, The GIMP (for image maps and jpegization), import (for screenshots) RENDER TIME: Parse 00 01 13, Trace 00 10 07, Total 00 11 20 HARDWARE USED: Intel Celeron 300A@374MHz, 192MB IMAGE DESCRIPTION: It's just my computer, with a screenshot on the monitor, which has in it pov-ray rendering the image, which has in it... DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The keyboard was probably the hardest part to make, as the key object is kind of a weird shape, and I had to make different objects for all the non-square keys (eg enter, space, etc.), and I had to line up all the keys (with help from #while loops...). Still, the part of the .pov file that deals with the keyboard may cause blindness :). I used one image_map for all the labels on the keys, which saved alot on file clutter. I tried to represent my computer somewhat faithfully, which was easy because I sat at it when I coded the scene :) There are a few details I left out because I didn't have time and they didn't really add much to the picture. Things like the little nibs on the 'f' and 'j' keys, and the fact that my monitor has a little crease in the plastic that goes through all the buttons.
