Piccies


Here are some pictures that I have created using mostly POV-Ray, arrayed in no particular order. All images copyright ©1998-2005 by Peter C. Capasso except as otherwise noted.

Here are more mooncars, industriously exploring a torus moon.

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.

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.jpg 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.

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.

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.jpg 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.

Dalaks. POV-Ray. Sky blue. What more do you need?
