Since no one seems to have anything to say about the scans, I've uploaded some
clearer pics of the images before they were "scanned".
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=1822
In case anyone is interested, here's how I made the pics:
I started by LDrawing the model and components in MLCAD. Then I used L3P to
convert to a POV file. I replaced L3P parts with LGEO parts where available.
I then arranged the models on a plane a sandy color in POV-Ray. I raytraced
these images at 1600x1200. Then, I removed the hills from a Brickshelf scan of
the Galaxy Explorer and scaled them up to the appropriate size. With some
cutting, pasting, smoothing, texturizing, and shadowing, I got the landed
vehicles and components to sit on a plane in front of the hills. The stars
were created by adding random colored noise to a small black image, scaling up
once, adding more noise, scaling up again, converting to grayscale, and
intensifying the grays. Because of this, the vehicles reflect each other and
the sand, but not the stars. Adding the correct logos was trivial.
To create the scanned look, I overlayed the image with a 80% transparent
halftone image of the same picture. I then rotated the image slightly to add
that scanning crookedness. I also reduced the contrast and increased the
brightness a bit.
Comments or suggestions for improvement are highly appreciated. If anyone
knows how to make Classic Space shaped and shaded hills using only POV-Ray, I'd
really like to know how! Please LMKWYT!
