Procedural Bumpmapping

Date: 2005/02/20
Resolution: 720 x 576
Objects/Polygons: 6 / 21
Render Time: ~3m 5s
Primary/Secondary Rays: ? / ?
Speed: ? rays/s
Anti-aliasing: Adaptive super-sampling

Scene: Three spheres, prism and glass over a plane
Details: Two of the spheres are transparent. One has Voronoi normal perturbation and the other Perlin.

Procedural Colouring & Bumpmapping

Date: 2005/02/19
Resolution: 720 x 576
Objects/Polygons: 6/33
Render Time: ~1m 8s
Primary/Secondary Rays: ? / ?
Speed: ? rays/s
Anti-aliasing: Adaptive super-sampling

Scene: Sphere, box, prism, lens and sheet of glass over a plane
Details: As below but with an extra sheet of glass and noise changing the colour of the lens.

Render Time: ~39s
Primary/Secondary Rays: ? / ?
Speed: ? rays/s
Anti-aliasing: Adaptive super-sampling

Scene: Sphere, box, prism and lens over a plane

Screenshots v0.5

Procedural Textures

Date: 2005/02/17
Resolution: 480 x 384
Objects/Polygons: 9 / 25
Render Time: ~5m 47s
Primary/Secondary Rays: ? / ?
Speed: ? rays/s
Anti-aliasing: Adaptive super-sampling

Scene: Sphere, box, prism and lens over a plane with walls
Details: Different types of noise used to modulate the colour. Voronoi noise on the floor, Perlin noise on right wall (top), billow noise on the left wall (top), marble effect (amplified this time) on the left wall (bottom) and ridged multifractal noise on the right (bottom).

Procedural Textures

Date: 2005/02/16
Resolution: 720 x 576
Objects/Polygons: 5 / 21
Render Time: ~3m 40s
Primary/Secondary Rays: ? / ?
Speed: ? rays/s
Anti-aliasing: Adaptive super-sampling

Scene: Sphere, box, prism and lens over a plane
Details: Different types of noise used to modulate the colour. Voronoi noise on the floor, Perlin noise on the sphere, marble effect on the lens [cos(x+Perlin)] and fractal noise and billow noise on the other two (but I can't remember which is which).
