  '59 Caddy Hovercar Raytraces
 
Here are some pics of my hovercar: (URL) LMKWYT! --Bram (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Wow, a blast from the Future that Never Was. Very cool. Where's the robot Elvis, though? Oh, and how do you get your models to float? <grins, ducks and runs> ++Lar (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.cad.ray)  
 
  Re: '59 Caddy Hovercar Raytraces
 
(...) Thanks! (...) I wish...(well, not really. The only thing I could build with pink bricks is Cadillacs :) They really can't be any other color...) You'll notice that the MPD file is in the colors I actually built the model--white. --Bram (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: '59 Caddy Hovercar Raytraces
 
(...) What kind of texture did you use for the chrome pieces, BTW? In my opinion, it has a tad bit too much reflection. I can't see that the parts are silver, I only see the reflection of the environment in them. Also, did you try to add a (low key) (...)

  Re: '59 Caddy Hovercar Raytraces
 
Very cool! Did you do anything special to the bottom of the car in the ray-trace? In the reflection, it looks almost like you have placed tiles there upside down, but the MPD has plates for the bottom. Or is it an optical illusion? James (...)

(...) Probably he just omitted the round things to save rendering time. Alan (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: '59 Caddy Hovercar Raytraces
 
(...) Thanks. (...) It's an optical illusion--well, actually, it's probably just a limitation of POV-Ray. AFAIK, reflective surfaces in POV don't actually reflect the light rays that bounce off of them, so no light reaches the bottom of the car, so (...)

  Re: '59 Caddy Hovercar Raytraces
 
I didn't know that about POV-ray. The only things I've rendered in it have been floating in space, so I've never tried something hovering over a reflective surface. Is the POV file available for download somewhere? I need a 1024x768 version for my (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: '59 Caddy Hovercar Raytraces
 
this is quite cool, bram. i particularly like the use of pink elements and the bubble over the cockpit/driver's seat. it opens up a whole new range of possibilities (flying versions of classic cars). good stuff! ..joseph g (...)

(...) Thanks! (...) I'd love to see other people take a shot at it! (I wonder if all those pieces exist in pink? It looks fine in white, too, which is the RL color of the model) --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com (...)
