Steven's LEGO® Ray Tracing
	Blog | Gallery | Construction | Links

Introduction

As much as I sometimes hate to admit, I'm a long time LEGO fan. My earliest memories are of building cars and planes out of LEGO bricks when I was around four. Even today I spend time building those same memories with my two daughters, though not as often since their interests are changing.

For over twelve years now, I've been playing around creating ray traced images of my favorite childhood past time: building with LEGO bricks. I've always enjoyed the satisfaction of creation, and the mixture of my two loves, computers and LEGO bricks, seemed a perfect fit. I hope you enjoy what is here as much as I enjoyed making it!

I recently taught an exploratory class to middle school grade children on how to use a computer to create art. It was a learning experience for me trying to use POV-Ray with the students. I had to find ways to help them grasp the concepts of geometry, basic programming, and color blending without overwhelming them. In an attempt to keep it interesting, I showed the students the code to my LEGO models. I believe I was able to get my message across and I hope that more then a few will keep working on their own ray tracing creations.

What's New

I have new images. Really! Err, just not here. :-( Geocities limit makes it a bit hard to add more here. Instead, head to my other site for the latest. Just to prove it, though, here is a link to one of my newer models:

You can also check out a slide show of the images. Enjoy!
