Speedster's POVray page

POVray gallery

I started a while ago, not with the pionneer DKBtrace, but POVray v1.0. At that time, I had no Floating Point Accelerator, and to tell you the truth, doing raytracing was a bit masochistic.

Now please browse through the different pics:

If your browser doesn't support image-maps, you can access my larger POVray pictures through these links:

Four MPEG films done with POVray2.2 and Henrik Bjeregaard Pedersen's MPEG encoder:

Clouds done with parallel planes sharing the same texture
366K MPEG film
Complex inverse function turned into animation
31K MPEG film
Same as above but animated GIF
84 Kb animated GIF
Porsche-like car running in front of you
597K MPEG film
Hitchcock effect in POVray
122K MPEG film

There are also some mini-apps for Acorn computers:

RenPPM (Make PPM pictures ready for conversion into an MPEG film with Henrik Bjeregaard Pedersen's encoder)
8K Zip archive
TGA2PPM (Targa to PPM converter. Unlike Creator, can process in batch mode, that is converts a whole bunch of files with just one drag)
8K Zip archive
TgaCut (Removes pixels in a Targa pic so it has a whole number of lines - helpful if a crash occurs during a trace !)
7K Zip archive
These ones are not from me but still useful:
POVSHP An old app by Mike Williams, allowing to generate torii, cylinders with rounded edges and necks (hyperboloid clipped by 2 planes I guess).
11K Zip archive
RAW2POV A Un*x conversion of a program that transforms an ASCII list of triangles and translates it into a POVray shape, optionally very-efficiently bounded.
76 Kb Zip archive
PPM2FLI Another Un*x conversion, this time allowing us to generate FLIs on the arc. Take care that PPMs are 24-bit deep and FLI only 8 !
39 Kb Zip archive
POVRay 3.1g compiled with GCC 3.3.3 and unixlib, and is 32-bit neutral (Iyonix testing is on the way). Note that the ZIP archive doesn't include a version with FP acceleration, since there's no RISC OS machine which can do hardware FP and has a 32-bit program counter at the moment (404 Kb ZIP file) Updated 12 Jun 2004
See also: POVray 3.1 g for the Arc, compiled with GCC 2.95.4 rel1 and unixlib. You'll need to download the other two archives and merge them to get the accompanying include files and examples (and the 800Kb manual).
770 Kb ZIP file
In case of problems, you can download my previous port here (650 Kb ZIP file), which was compiled with GCC 2.95.2 rel3 and libscl.
POVRay 3.1 Include files - Part1
630 Kb ZIP file
POVRay 3.1 Include files - Part2
450 Kb ZIP file
POVray 3.02 The previous port of povray for the Arc
1.5 Mb ZIP file
BiFrost Colour picker and colour map maker for POVray
53 Kb SPARK file

Many POVray utilities by the Miskin 'family'

If you want to share experience, models, techniques, or if you want to develop scenes in common, I would be glad to hear from you. Also, if you've designed a utility for povray (RiscOS), send it to me !
