TITLE: Love at first sight NAME: Jerome BERGER COUNTRY: France EMAIL: bergerj@iname.com WEBPAGE: www.enst.fr/~jberger TOPIC: First Encounter COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: jbshow.jpg ZIPFILE: jbshow.zip RENDERER USED: POV-Ray for windows v 3.1 TOOLS USED: sPatch, Paint Shop Pro, paper and pencil RENDER TIME: parse 5s, render 5m 27s HARDWARE USED: P-II 333MHz, 64Mo RAM, Windows 98 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: It's a picture from a Tex Avery cartoon: "Wild and Woolfy", when the villain (the wolf) first sees the girl and falls in love with her (if you can call it love...). DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The main difficulty was in rendering in a single picture what is shown in two sequences in the movie. I had to put a mirror behind the wolf to show what he was looking at without losing his expression. The wolf's head is mostly a hand-coded blob except for the ears and tongue which were modelled in sPatch and the eyes and nose which are simply scaled spheres. The girl and the spectator's shadows are simply boxes with an image_map. That's all folks!
