Artist's Comments

What do you get when you mix 2 old Linux boxes, 2 old laptops, and a crazy mad scientist? In my case, you end up with a render farm....

To be honest, I almost posted this to my scraps area. However, it is the result of the first really usable render farm I have ever made based on the Megapov render engine and python server and client scripts. I wasn't overly happy with this piece as it would appear one of my machines went psycho and introduced some odd banding in the image. I'm not anxious to rework it just yet ,as it took 3 days to render with 4 machines running full tilt.

However, this was a good piece to show some of the more advanced features of Povray such as caustics and other angle of incidence effects.

Oh I thought the banding was from the actual materials! If you didn't say I would know those were pic artifacts. ;p The skin shader looks a little "dirty" like Poser IBL sometimes does. In Poser this can be fixed by increasing irradiance caching and sometimes pixel sampling as well. But I am sure MegaPov has other ways to adjust this. All the reflections and refractions are the high point in this render, looks beautiful! ^^

The dirty effect was a problem with converting the .ppm file to something I could work with. :( The file was corrupted and not quite complete. I've still got some bugs to work out.....
