JPGFILE: nofrien1.jpg RENDERER USED: megapov 1.2 TOOLS USED: Emacs for wrinting the scripts RENDER TIME: 1h 53 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium M Centrino - Linux Red-Hat IMAGE DESCRIPTION: In an old haunted castle, a small phantom with red eyes had invited three friends to share his meal. It had put its best crockery, its finest tablecloth, even if it is perforated a little! But his friends did not want to remain, and saved all through the walls, as any phantom can do it. He is alone; it cries the absence of his friends, and even the cat turns the back to him. For the french speaking people.. Dans un vieux ch_teau hant_, un petit fant_me aux yeux rouges avait invit_ trois amis _ partager son repas. Il avait sorti sa belle vaisselle, sa nappe la plus fine, m_me si elle est un peu trou_e ! Mais ses amis n'ont pas voulu rester, et se sont tous sauv_s _ travers les murs, comme tout fant_me sait le faire. Le voil_ tout seul ; il pleure l'absence de ses amis, et m_me le chat lui tourne le dos. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: This image corresponds to my first tests of the functionalities of Megapov: clothray (for the phantom and the tablecloth), motion blur (for the phantoms which flees) and fur (for the cat), that I tried to learn and apply. The remainder is only simple CSG. A lot of thanks to Matthieu (Pepeto), author of macro who manufactures the stained glass of the bottom. For the french speaking people.. Cette image correspond _ mes premiers essais des fonctionnalit_s de Megapov : clothray (pour le fant_me et la nappe), motion blur (pour les fant_mes qui s'enfuient) et fur (pour le chat), que j'ai essay_ d'apprendre et d'appliquer. Le reste n'est que simple CSG. Un grand merci _ Matthieu (Pepeto), auteur de la macro qui fabrique le vitrail du fond.
