A little dream about Norway going out to space... (First image) Kind of like the idea of a rotating ring to create a little artificial gravity...
Norwegian Stellar Explorer
Here we are of to the stars!
The spaceship is a little more elaborate now, mainly with
the help of Theran Cochran's great Truss-include files.
This was made for an animation, but the animation is to big to upload here.
The Introduction of The Euro
Around the time the € Euro was introduced,
I was playing around with Michael Hough's sunset/sky-tutorial,
and with Nathan O'Brien's classical column-file. The TV was
on in the background, (BBC World) droning about the introduction
of the Euro, and the potential of a power-struggle with the
US dollar. So the building become a temple with the dollar
on the alter and the euro-"shark" lurking in the
water. The euro posed a little problem, even though it was
in the font-file, POV-Ray wouldn't display it, so it was made
up of a clipped C and two hyphens. And a little fin made in
sPatch. Tried to add some flames to the candles and the pots,
but no matter what I did, they looked like crap.
Here is some close-ups:
Lose Money Fast
Nieminen Juha posted in September 1999 on
the POV-Ray news-server a moneymaking "scheme" (read: scene) ;).
Well, here is an old image I made that works the opposite
way... (Not a good one, the dollar-bills too small). This
is the only scene that survived my DoubleSpace crash. It is
from when I was learning to use image_maps.
