| The Reading Table was an attempt
to create a realistic render. I started with objects that I already
had, put them together and played with the lighting. The lamp, table, books, and paper pad are from the Library. |
 |
|
|
| As I often do, I play around
with different camera angles, in this case, zooming out to get a wider
look. The clock and globe are from the Den. |
 |
|
|
| Next, I decided to do the rest
of the room in the day. Here's where the project turned into a daylight
radiosity project spanning about five months. The computer, keyboard,
and office chair are from the Den. The
bookshelves are from the Library. |
 |
|
|
| Next, I added a human to
give the room some more personality. I also added some clutter to make
things a bit more realistic. The books on the bookshelf are a bit more
messy. Note that all books tilt to the right :-) The lighting for this scene took the most time to experiment. Each render was taking about 18 hours to do. Slow progress. |

Victoria 3 model from DAZ3D. Note the mouse is just a clipped torus! |

|
|
| I didn't notice till now that
the two smaller prints on the wall are of the same photograph! |
 |
|
|
| I really like the radiosity
effect on this scene. Some parts are too bright still. |

| A remake of the M.C. Escher's
famous Hand
with Reflecting Sphere. The reading room seemed to be the
perfect environment in which to place him. I changed the floor pattern
to make this a true RSOCP* scene. It took a lot of trial and error to
get the camera in just the right spot. Hmmm... what's that on the
computer monitor *Reflective Sphere over Checked Plane - a rayracer's equivalent to a "hello, world" program. |

| A zoom out of the above image.
Here we can clearly see Escher is using POV-Ray! |
