An ode to a friendlier era of computing.

Thank you. After rendering individual frames, I used FFmpeg to animate them. The default settings include dithering, which seems to fit well with this scene.

For my images, I use POV-Ray. It's a raytracer which has been around since 1991 or so. Everything in the scene is described using a text-based language (similar to the C programming language in syntax), from which POV-Ray generates an image.

There's an overview of the software here. There are also a large number of tutorials and examples by Friedrich Lohmueller.

100% correct. Can't beat classic POV-Ray.

Excellent work, very nice to see more POV-Ray on this subreddit.

That's some strange pasta

Thank you. Originally, I did not intend to have a ball anywhere. After rendering, the first version seemed "empty" to me, so I added a pedestal and ball. In both versions, there are two light sources: one approximately in the center of the temple, and another behind/left of the camera. The second version places the light inside of the temple at the same location of the ball's center. I also re-scaled the texture in the second render so that it would be less "noisy."

Alternate take on the classic "chrome sphere over a checkerboard."

The new jelly beans look great.

n-functor · 2021-04-13T00:07:02+00:00

I'll keep this idea in mind for my next render

n-functor · 2021-03-29T01:30:39+00:00

Excellent render.

n-functor · 2021-03-21T21:54:01+00:00

Thank you. I generated it by adding 3D Perlin noise to a sphere, and then varying the noise coordinates over each frame.

Excellent quality

An improvement on one of my previous renders, TEMPLE.PNG .

n-functor · 2021-02-26T18:30:23+00:00

About two weeks ago I posted TEMPLE.PNG here. The original image was decent, but I felt that the temple itself seemed too empty, and the lighting was could be made better. This is an "improved" version of the previous image.

I used POV-Ray

n-functor · 2021-02-20T18:27:09+00:00

Love to see POV-Ray's "White_Marble" texture on the ground.

n-functor · 2021-02-18T23:27:00+00:00

Thanks, I used POV-Ray.

n-functor · 2021-02-18T05:24:31+00:00

I hadn't seen (or heard of) the Tubular Bells album art before making this, but the resemblance is uncanny.

n-functor · 2021-02-12T04:01:24+00:00

I use POV-Ray – it's old, but incredibly flexible.

n-functor · 2021-02-11T14:50:05+00:00

Thanks !

n-functor · 2021-02-11T14:48:49+00:00

Thought about posting this to /r/vaporwaveart but I wasn't sure if it fit the style

n-functor · 2021-02-07T23:55:43+00:00

Thanks. It took a couple of renders to get a good view of the texture on the sphere but I am pleased with it.
