Running gpt-oss-20b on a MacBook Air M1 with #ollama reminds me of the days when I tried #PovRay mid 90s: I get one word every ~20 minutes, and while the task given is useless (a hello world in Typescript in Node), I don't dare to stop it before the end.
#raytracing avec #povray : Voici le dernier commit avant la #sieste, la #gif89a qui va avec et les séquences en mode graphique #EGA comme au bon vieux temps.

FOSS Advent Calendar - Door 9: 3D Rendering with POV-Ray

Today we explore POV-Ray, a powerful FOSS tool for creating stunning 3D graphics.

POV-Ray stands for Persistence of Vision Raytracer. It allows you to describe complex 3D scenes in a text-based scene description language and render them into high-quality images. You can create anything from simple geometric shapes to intricate molecular structures or artistic compositions.

It’s perfect for nerds, FOSS enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to combine programming and art to produce beautiful visuals. POV-Ray works entirely via the command line, so you can automate renders, tweak parameters, and experiment endlessly with light, textures, and camera angles.

Pro tip: try rendering a molecule, a futuristic scene, or a holiday-themed object in 4K resolution, the results are mesmerizing!

For this example, I have rendered the HIV Protease Inhibitor from the RCSB PDB entry 1HVR (Rational design of potent, bioavailable, nonpeptide cyclic ureas as HIV protease inhibitors).

Which 3D scene would you love to bring to life with POV-Ray?

Comment mettre de la couleur dans votre #raytracing de la famille Hexacone..

#local R = rand(Rng1); #if (R < 0.25) texture { tPlasticOrange } #elseif (R < 0.50) texture { tPlasticBlue } #elseif (R < 0.75) texture { tPlasticPrune } #else texture { tPlasticGreen } #end // if

#Povray, c'est trop cool !

Haven't done much else with my render of nearest stars to the Sun, other than refactoring code and changing the view. But I updated the colour pallette and processed it in GIMP with a bloom filter, which works way better than I hoped!

Just added Opus 4.5 pelican on a bicycle (raytracer edition) here:

Significantly worse than Opus 4.1!

I've updated my LLM raytraced pelicans to include GPT-5.1 models:
