So, next up – pretty pictures!
Every year or so, I stumble across a pretty picture rendered with POV-Ray and think “ooh, I wish I could do that”, which invariably prompts me to pull it out, play around for an hour or two and then get bored.
Anyway, below is the product of this year’s getting-bored-and-playing-around (click on the image for a full-sized version):
If you’re interested in that sort of thing, the source for this image is here, and yes, it is at least partially generated by a script.
Update – I’ve re-rendered the image with soft shadows: the original with the sharp shadows can be found here (thumbnail)
Reminds me of that old Windows NT screen saver.
