Description
Through the years this topic has been my anchor for generic design space. The figure is one of the Poser standards and the prop once harked from a need to be tops in my profession. There was other possibility. The draconian measures of the authorities children sought out underlings children to stop, block or … Now as real time ray tracing is peeping it's head out of graphics boards in consumer level PC's I can mention that I never had anything but pre-computation to prepare but the actual happening was real time and all the data available from that had to be not just sensed but recorded and transmitted in near real time with only the speed of light as an excuse for not having it right now. Everything in the prop is modelled here to belabor the rendering. No big deal now with 32Gb of memory and an SSD of 1TB with data saved on a 1TB 7200 rpm disc. So far even after taking all the duplicate shaders and objects out of the model collected from 1995 on as different levels of modelling came and went the ZIP is over 50Mb at 50.3Mb blocking it for free use as a 3D model. The figure is a reference like what I learned about Human Factors and Biomedical from Project Apollo and Skylab. Christmas last year was the 50th anniversary of Apollo 8 that orbited moon and the moon landings will be 50 years old in July and August this year. The question I am answering is not "where were you 50 years ago when these events happened?" but "Where were you in 1965 when you parked the physical hardware this render exploits?"

Hopefully the answer to at least one of those questions is.............in a parking lot. Good to see you again
the price of freedom has been raised
What a lovely example of both the female form AND that fine old classic! Well done!
My son and grandson have a new supper wide TV display for their Forza driving game on Xbox. Yesterday after my grandson went off to iKido after trying to get a Sunoco skin for his 1969 Camaro his father said he would like to have some of the old behaviors like the way the front ends of the cars of the 1930's rose up. I told him my experience with the haptics of the Forza was that all the cars felt "greasy" at speed. I can see now that what he really wanted was a "cars behaving badly." I would suggest a wholly new mode for the cars of the 50's with spring windup and axle tramp and later in the Nadir era, swing axle jacking. As the front drives came in understeer testing the limits in front drives could be explored. Always hand brake U-turn has an expression even in the least powered examples of everything on four wheels. To be fair to the American luxury makes there could be a Pan American Road Race and Mickey Thompson in a 1953 Ford six. Getting back to the 30's the G-men on the running boards going around corners at intersections leaning the car to the limits of it's suspension would test nerves. Silent movies have the data.
Where does this one use ray trace? Well, there's the parabolic reflectors behind the facetted glass of the headlight lenses, the chrome and rustless steel, the translucent parking light lenses and the controlled refraction of the safety glass in the windshield and other windows. Even the variances in reflection and color in the tail light lenses depends on ray trace. Bump maps, depth maps, alpha, not my way as I don't use photos mapped to UV. Veni, Vidi, Vici
very cool :-)
Really nice scene!
Nice work
