EMAIL: mkhorton@direcway.com NAME: Michael Horton TOPIC: Winter COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: hotchoc COUNTRY:USA WEBPAGE:N/A RENDERER USED: PovRay V3.1 TOOLS USED:none RENDER TIME: 3min, 20 sec. HARDWARE USED: AMD Athlon 1.2GHz IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A cup of hot chocolate in front of a warm fire. This is my first attempt at a real scene, and I know it won't be as good as many other entries, but I wanted to participate anyway. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: trial and error. I thought of something that might look good, then tried to figure out how to do it. (some worked and are still here, others were discarded.) I used the Fire texture from Povlab.inc (author unknown, I downloaded it from somewhere) as a rough guide for my fire texture. All comments are welcome; I'm new and could use the help!
