I'm pulling up my carpet and replacing it with black and white checkerboard tile, and throwing out all my furniture and replacing it with rounded chrome shapes. That's right, my name is #POVRay.

@noneuclideandreamer Ich kรถnnte dann Skripte erstellen um die 3D Daten in POVray oder Blendet/Cycles zu importieren.

@mcc @bit101 I have also been working intensively on this: Using rules to place (many) objects in 3D space. I mainly used it for Blender, OpenVDB and SVG. The template mechanism could also work for generating #PovRay files.

no reason to write about #povray in the past tense just because it's old

it's still maintained and packaged and perfectly usable

Now we have a dagger and a scroll. Just one or two more objects and then I'll have to try adding some drama to the scene, the shadow of a monster or something. #povray #raytracing
I'm still playing with this scene. In the past week I've added the plate, and this potion, and reoriented the picture to serve as a manual cover. In this process I'm getting more reaquainted with #povray #raytracing but I still ought to make the leap to Blender at some point.

I've been playing with #povray #raytracing today, for the first time in a while. Here are the beginnings of a scene that will serve as a manual cover and (suitably converted) a title screen for some future game.

back in the 90s, the era of 8/16bit home computers, it was rare treat to experience software that made your computer feel like a supercomputer

the (originally freeware) #opensource raytracing software POVRAY was definitely one of those

it was available for a number of platforms eg Amiga, PC and Acorn Archimedes

the scene description language was very powerful, able to programmatically define scenes with eg loops

@rzeta0 I loved POVRAY! I made my first steps into 3D with it, along Midnight Modeler and Moray. Amazing time :)

@papermanu

those were magic days!
