POV-Ray Projects

Virtual scenes, macros and animations I've created for the freeware raytracer, POV-Ray.

Links:

Link View image	POV-Ray Grid & Axes Include: I've created an include file that renders a grid and axes onto your scene. You can select its overall size and detail, as well as choose to hide or show a particular plane.
Link View image	POV-Ray Fractal Objects: A collection of fractal objects. There are three fractals to choose from at the moment: the Menger Sponge, the Sierpinski Pyramid and the Sierpinski Tetrahedron. All three objects can be used in CSG operations.
Link View image	POV-Ray Shape Grid Objects: This macro creates an object in the shape of a grid of longitudinal, lattitudinal and radial lines found on a sphere. The thickness of the "lines" of the grid remains constant. The object can be used as an object within a CSG operation (e.g., intersection or difference), or as an object pattern (e.g., a pigment). An example scene is provided to show three different ways of using the object.
Link View image	POV-Ray Color Space Pigments: The HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness), HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) and RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color spaces mapped to various shapes.
Link View image	POV-Ray Road Macros: My POV-Ray macros for creating LDraw-style roads.
Link View image	POV-Ray Random Solar System Generator: An include file for generating random solar system scenes.
Link View image	POV-Ray Earth-like Planet Texture: A WIP texture that is meant to resemble the Earth.
Download View image	POV-Ray Focal Length Animation v1.0.1: An animation showing how adjusting a camera's distance and focal length while keeping the object in frame can introduce distortions into an image.
Link Add-on View image	POV-Ray Game Sprites: A collection of objects and scenes intended to be used in 2D, isometric video games. The special effects "add-on" is available from this page as well.
Link View image	POV-Ray Sprite Objects: A collection of objects set up to be used in 2D, isometric video games. In this case, all objects were created by Francisco Muñoz Cotobal and are used by permission.
Link	Sprite Assembly Tutorial: A tutorial on assembling and compositing sprites into contact sheets using ImageMagick.
Link	Dithering Tutorial: A tutorial on dithering transparency information using ImageMagick.
