EMAIL: slumini@getms.ge.ca NAME: Stephen Lumini TOPIC: Metamorphosis COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: COUNTRY: Canada WEBPAGE: none RENDERER USED: povray 3.02 TOOLS USED: CMpeg, CREATION TIME: 48+ hours HARDWARE USED: Pentium90 with 40 meg ram VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: none - except Cmepg twice flipped one or two of frames upside down during the coin falling to the table part so it looks funny. I have no idea why this happened, however there seems to be no way that I can correct this. ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: In case it is not clear: The Red smoke and the Green smoke join and make Yellow smoke which gets sucked into the turtle and blown into a bubble. The smoke in the bubble then turns into a gold coin. I imagine that some alchemist made this all up and is happily making himself rich. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: I used nothing but povray 3.02, and made extensive use of Count, #switch and QuickRes.ini I also made 4 files for the total animation. 1. the growing bubble and floating to the table, 2. the bright light where the smoke metamophosises into a gold coin, 3. Gold coin falling onto the table, 4. gold coin bouncing off the table (simple sine wave)
