i have many apps, 2d and 3d, all using various rendering methods. but yes, for this dv, and for [link] and some of my other gallery-deviations i used my newest ray tracer.
glad you like the renders

nice honolulu, and i like the reflections + the preetham + the perfect dof very much
yes, it looks very geeky!
do you plan to ever add plants?

perhaps if i find a way to model

-Normal-smoothing
Besides, WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Zoom-walk as if the camera was a climber
Would that actually be possible, or would the zoom only make gaps visible, so that noone could ever climb them?

thanks, tho i didn't want a smooth mesh (actually normals are being interpolated as the surfaces aren't flat)
regarding zooming, it's just a normal renderer... sure i can zoom

Oh, so, that's not something like the border of some fractals? - Wait, if it was, the surface would look smooth, D'oh Silly me^^

very nice light render ! now just to smooth the terrain and would be very realistic !
ps.

thank you, you too my friend
oh, i can very easily smooth the terrain, in several ways (for example to load in photoshop and resize it smoothly, or to do it internally in my program), but for this i was unashamed of the computer-generated look, the cold geometry, and i left it so

weeeeeeee 3D
PS absolutely LOVE the DOF and the detail on the low ground around the water, very well done. btw i take it this was modelled with maths not any app

the terrain is actually from honolulu! the data is from the graphics course i did this year, everything else is maths. of course.
hey i should email you a test render i did just now; it's in png though, so it'll make this puny 1mb jpeg blush...

thanks mate

only thing is, that renderer ATE my computers processing power. it was scar\y...

ah i see you have tried it, nevermind what i wrote in our back-and-forth notes then

i wrote some example code to go with the explanations in *chaos5 's recent journal entries - [link]

btw, i've edited the description to link to a version of allura which renders the image in miniature

Yeah, but it does not look persuasive to me. (As in, looks surreal while I somehow expect it to be realistic). For what is worth, I am damn good at finding flaws in what I cannot reproduce myself ...

PS And that's not tundra.

it was decided that "tundra" sounds better than "cold"
about realism, the reflectance of that surface is sin(wavelength * freq + phase) * 0.5 + 0.5, so i make absolutely no claims about realism! it's just meant to look nice.

Looks like Fjord to me.
