Ray-tracing images with POV-Ray

Back to Stefan's home page


My favorite collection of links to very good digital image artists and resources is found here.

My favorite collection of POV-Ray images made by other people is found here.


The images shown below and corresponding pov-files are made by Stefan Spännare with and for the
POV-Ray ray-tracing program. Many thanks to the POV-Ray team!

I must admit that I have "stolen" some ideas from other POV-Ray users (see the readme file below).


Future development. I have the intention to make an image of a "rocket" lava lamp with built in light i
source and I will also try to make an image of a human-like wooden doll. Time will tell when it happens.


Download

Pov-files for POV-Ray 3.6.x (for Linux and Windows) to make the images below are now available here:

High resolution images to download (1200 x 900 and 4000 x 3000 pixels, JPEG, all the 30 images shown below).
The images are now rendered with AA 0.3 anti aliasing which improves the image quality quite a bit.
