Oyonale - 3D art and graphic experiments
The field (2000)
Artwork created in 2000
- Renderer: POV-Ray
- A first version of this image, inspired by a WWII black and white photograph, was made
for the IRTC "Sea" round. It was a complete rewrite of
one of my first POV-Ray images. I did it very quickly, and, as it was decidedly not an
award-winning picture, I submitted it under the silly pseudonym of Gérard Mansoif, a
fitting name for a water image. I had more or less forgotten about it until I started
working on the 2001 update of Oyonale, so I spent a few hours more on it, taking into
account some of the comments written by the IRTC voters.
- I changed the colours and the
camera location and added two Poser sharks. I guess it makes the image less static.
- The ship is a big blob (actually 8 blob pieces) with foreign CSG material added.
- The
mines are isosurfaces + CSG.
- The environment is scattering media.
- The chain link is made
with a macro by Rob Antonishen.
- A simplified version is available in the official POV-Ray distribution.
