I was busy this week, but I'm back...

If I am not mistaken, Ethan's very first picture has been entered in the Contrast round, is it the one you are referring to?

I hope not! That was my first image, and, umm, well, I don't really want to talk about it.

I really liked "Nate" because it meant roughly "Ethan" reversed. Because of that, I was very surprised to having seen your name changed.

I can't believe that someone actually followed my logic on that one. Everyone I knew couldn't understand why I had Nate.

However, I was in the BlenderArtists site as Thax. (Start with Ethan, delete the E, cross out the n, and... Thax!). I didn't want to have two versions of every picture, one with Nate and one with Thax. Besides, you have to admit Thax just sounds sleek! (Rememder, I'm 16!)

Your kindness reminds me Chris', honestly saying that he thinks he is starting doing something good, while you guys absolutely rock the house!

Thank you! That made my day.

On this actual board or TC-RTC itself? What type of files?

Well, I was thinking if you wanted to post .pov files, or in my case, .blend files on this forum. Also I was thinking of writing an introduction to Blender for someone too afraid to get past the look of the program. In that case, can a .doc or a .pdf be uploaded?

Quote:

As for your other account, since you are the only one to have uploaded using two accounts, we'll merge your old account into your Thax account so that you've got everything in one place.

Thank you, thats very nice of you. I would appreciate having everything in the one acount.

Judging from the "Gondolin" shot, I must assume that you do have quite some almost-but-not-quite-finished scenes... the old familiar "if it ain't got a deadline, how can I tell when it's finished" syndrome, I guess?

My gosh, that sounds almost prophetic! I take it I'm not the only one with a pile of half ideas floating around. That is exactly my disease, and the main reason that I have only three images finished, and those three for a tc-rtc challenge. I have a pretty good resource of objects I have created, ideas I've started, just waiting for a challenge to bring them to the light...

Hi everyone, my name's Samuel. I didn't realize this forum existed until a few days ago, so, having only posted to the POV-Ray newsgroups for years, here I am

I came across POV-Ray back in... IDK, 1999? It instantly became my favorite 3D program, and remains so today! Sure, I use other programs such as LightWave and Blender, but all of my final renders are usually made in POV

I like anything to do with illustration and 3D graphics, especially complexity arising from natural processes. I'm more of an alchemist than a scientist in this regard, more of a mediocre hacker than a true programmer, but I do dabble.

Currently I'm playing with a 3D Voronoi library for C++ called voro++. I'd love to make a WYSIWYG editor for editing Voronoi cell structures, which would be something useful for everyone, but the fact that this project seems insurmountable only points to my very ineptitude... Oh well

Anyway, maybe I'll see you around!

Sam

P.S. Am I mistaken, or can I post 3D images rendered in programs other than POV-Ray?
