    PovRay 3.5


TOOLS USED: 
    * Wings3d modeler (for the flower and the fence)
          * Makesnow macro by G.Tran   (http://www.oyonale.com)
          * Arabaro to make the trees (http://arbaro.sourceforge.net/)


RENDER TIME: 
    Parsing ~ 1H

HARDWARE USED: 
    Pentium 4 at 2.4GHz, 512Mo of Ram


IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    The goal was to mix realistic render with the
cel-shading look,and 
          The topic was quite fine for this.
          I hope the picture is self-explanatory enough !
      



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

        
         The code is currently too messy to be included. Send me an email if you
want it.

        -The cel-shading look for the flower was done using the slope pattern :
         one texture with flat colors (brilliance at 0), and another one on top
of the first one
         with the camera direction as reference for the slope pattern to make
the black contours.
        -The whole ground, including the road, was made using a blob with ~20000
spheres. As the render time
         was too big with this blob, I have made a height-field from it
(separate image of the blob made
         with an orthographic camera), which is much quicker to render. 
        -The trees were made using the Arbaro software. The bark texture was
inspired from the one by
         Tom Melly found on the PovRay Wiki. 
        -The snow on the trees and the fence was made with the Makesnow macro of
G.Tran (this takes
          most of the parsing time).
        -Wings3d was used to model the flower and the fence.
