Hi,

this is one entry for Tim Goulds Disco Remix Challenge: http://news.lugnet.com/cad/ray/?n=2685



The title Doomed Disco is not caused by the skeleton on the picture (which meaning I do not understand :-(... ), it is the result of the fact, that everything I have tried new to do in povray, failed.

Cool atmospheric things with media -> did not work.
Glowing ground with “lights look like”-> did not work.
Nice reflections on chrome parts -> of course didn’t work.

So I present, what is left. It is more or less a result of some brute force technic I often enjoy. Some technics:

-The scenery was untouched except moving the blaster spot lights and the bulb a little bit for aesthetic reasons. And the white ground places where lowered for a reason I have forgotten, since that was something which didn’t work.

-Three minifig hairpieces were replaced manually be versions computed with the one and only meshenhancer: http://members.aol.com/elferwette/LDraw/

-No walls were added, but the scenery is placed in a box containing a media:

box {<-220,60,-400>,<220,-220,350>
      pigment { rgbt 1 }

      hollow
      interior {
        media
      { scattering { 1 <0.002,0.002,0.002> extinction 1 }
            samples 2
        }}
}

- Manymany lights were added:

Spotlights in the spotlights.
Shadowless lights in front of the spotlights to make the spotlights looking lit.
Few lights underneath the trans-red/blue floor.
An overview light for the barkeeper.

- Radiosity was used but in an ordinary way.

- No special includes were used.

- Postprocessing was the black frame, rescaling from 1024x... to 800x... and saving as jpg.

In the BS-folder is a version of the povray-source: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=208687

And I hope you enjoy it...

Andreas

Hi Andreas, Firstly, thanks for making a version. If this is the "doomed" version of the picture I'd love to see the long-lived version. It is really excellent and captures the look of a nightclub very well. I particularly like the lighting and the (...) (18 years ago, 5-Oct-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)
