TITLE: The lost Tower COUNTRY: France WEBPAGE: http://helene.dumur.free.fr/index.htm RENDERER USED: Pov-Ray 3.5 TOOLS USED: SmokeGen - MakeTree (Gilles Tran)- HfLab RENDER TIME: 1 hour HARDWARE USED: Athlon 1200 - Linux Red Hat 7.2 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: In a very very far country, perhaps on an other planet, there is a huge lake, surrounded by hight mountains. In the middle of the water, on a narrow island, is a half ruined tower, invaded by bushes. There is nobody here from a long time. An alone ghost is wandering.. while the skeleton of the last ermit is trying to go out of his tomb. All around, the monsters roam in the dull blue-green water. Nobody knows who lived there, the island, protected by its monsters keeps its mystery ! DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: This is a very simple picture, without any technical feat. The green ghost has needed the use of a media to keep the transparency and the fuzzy outline. The brown ghost is made whith SmokeGen, and the mountains with HfLab. All the other things are simples solids : cylinder, torus, superellipsoïds. My wish is to get a nice harmony of colors, I wont them in green and brown, save the clear color of the stones of the tower, and the darkness of the sea snakes. I apologize, I don't write very well in english.... I hope you have understood !
