TITLE: Stones NAME: Sean Day COUNTRY: UK EMAIL: s.day@uel.ac.uk TOPIC: Minimalism COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. RENDERER USED: MegaPov 1.2 RENDER TIME: 28 days!! HARDWARE USED: P4 2.8GHz 1GB IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Just some stones on a beach. Not sure if it comes under minimalist but seemed fairly minimal to me. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The stones were created using isosurfaces and trial and error. The sea and sand (yes, that's supposed to be sea and sand..) are height fields. I used megapov because I thouhgt I would try the HDRI feature out. The reason the render time was so long is because I set the focal blur settings very high to remove the graining. (I didn't expect it to be that long though!!)
