Made an ArchLinux wallpaper image using povray

What do you think? I am no povray expert. I used it a year ago for about a week, and picked it up again a couple days ago. Hope you like it.

Well, this is fat. Great work. How long did that take to render?

bye neri

neri,

Thanks. I think it took about 35 or 40 minutes to render on my 1.4 GHz T-Bird. Also, gqview and gimp show it much darker than the images that I first posted here, and it looks better that way, so I darkened it a bit and increased the contrast with the gimp. If you look at it again, it should look better.

For those interested, in the spirit of open source , here is the .pov:

Dude! That's sweet!

If anyone wants it, here is the povray command and arguments to render that particular image, where <FILE> is the name you saved the file as, for example arch.pov, and <OUT> is the name of the output file, arch.png for example.

povray -geometry +0+0 +V +X +P +A0.3 +AM2 -P +FN +V +D +W1024 +H768 +HTN +L/usr/share/povray-3.5/include/ +I<FILE> +O$<OUT>

Awesome background. Are you planning on making any more?

marin_linuxer · 2003-10-09 17:29:37

Hey, the picture link is borked! Any chance you can re-submit?

Thanx.

red_over_blue · 2003-10-09 21:37:54

Is it working ok now? Sometimes my server is hard to reach since I have to use noip.com to forward requests to my IP address. Please let me know whether or not it is working so I can fix it if it is not.

It Is WoRkInG nOw

marin_linuxer · 2003-10-10 16:56:23

OOOooooo ..... nice.

Don't know if you're open to some suggestions? I'm wondering if you can reduce/move the light source a little to give the glass-arch more internal detail/depth? I think it might also give the misty-blue bottom a wider spectrum of richer hue's?

I'm definitely _no_ expert!

Cheers and awesome artwork.

jf/ · 2004-05-12 02:26:24

hey, if u want to, u can try hosting your image at photobucket.com - should get better reliability that way. I'm still waiting to see the pic...

KalephOne · 2004-05-12 03:28:19

Cant see the image either

ravster · 2004-05-22 02:04:49

Wow :shock:
It's a beaut 8) Great pic, red_over_blue

Can someone post a mirror of that image (mirror image, heh) to another site? I can't connect to the server either. I'm looking forward to seeing this, though; povray is the absolute rockin'est raytracer in the world. Why, I remember when it was DKBtrace back in the 80s.... trails off incoherently

Heh, it's probably gone since this thread is over 4 years old. I don't have a copy, but maybe someone else does.
