POV-ray is cool. I remember first using it back in high school when one of my friends introduced me to it. Back in the day, it was a total blessing for me as using a 3D modeling software would COMPLETELY slow down my Intel Celeron powered PC. :-)
Now, this tutorial gives me a good excuse to try out POV-ray once again...
- ticviking 12y agoYou had a celeron, sounds like you were spoiled. :P I had my dads old 486 to play with POV-ray on. I remember getting up at 5 am to work on a scene and come back from school to see if it had rendered right. Do homework tweak and hit render just before bed. If I was lucky I'd finish something cool once a month or so.
- morcheeba 12y agoI started with POVray on a 486... then I had a big animation to do, so I wrote a primitive filesystem-based job scheduler. I used 13 office computers (P60 or P66) working in parallel to get a 30-second animation done in only a weekend. I think it was about 2 hours rendering/frame.
