Piccies
Here are some pictures that I have created using mostly
POV-Ray,
arrayed in no particular order. All images copyright ©1998-2005

Mooncar1
Here are more mooncars, industriously exploring a torus moon.
Girders2
I actually came up with the picture when I was a little kid, before there
were home computers, before I even knew what Ray Tracing was. The first
version was done in magic marker on paper. Now it has been rendered properly,
without me having to draw in every beam!
To get the girders to tile to the vanishing point without running out of
memory, I made a 64x64 unit as a mesh object and then repeated that.
Unlike other objects in povray, a mesh used twice only occupies memory once.
The robots look cheeseball by current styles, but they were cool to me when
I first drew them.
Office1
This is one of my earlier Opticks renders. It's a sort of surreal
office. It's just got that Opticks quality to it that all
Opticks-created renderings tend to have.
Tilepipe
Here I use povray's programming (macro) capabilities as well
as randomness to tesselate a cube tile containing pipe
segments. No art here, just programming, but it looks cool.
Tsrsmc
Here is one of those recursive sort of fractal objects. This one is
constructed of many spheres in a tetrahedronal arrangement. To make
the picture a little more interesting, the camera was moved in closer
to the shape.
Bumple
This is a picture I started years and years ago, back
when povray was still DKB Render. As features where added to the program, the
picture was redone. The mirrored spheres are reflecting a cloudy orange sky.
S12
This Povray render is simply a composition with many dodecahedrons (12
sided polyhedra) scattered about in an interesting way. I like
Povray's ground fog effect. BTW, two crucial angles for constructing a
dodecahedron from planes are 72.0 degrees and 63.4349488 degrees.
Tola_01
Dalaks. POV-Ray. Sky blue. What more do you need?
