FOSS Advent Calendar - Door 9: 3D Rendering with POV-Ray

Today we explore POV-Ray, a powerful FOSS tool for creating stunning 3D graphics.

POV-Ray stands for Persistence of Vision Raytracer. It allows you to describe complex 3D scenes in a text-based scene description language and render them into high-quality images. You can create anything from simple geometric shapes to intricate molecular structures or artistic compositions.

It’s perfect for nerds, FOSS enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to combine programming and art to produce beautiful visuals. POV-Ray works entirely via the command line, so you can automate renders, tweak parameters, and experiment endlessly with light, textures, and camera angles.

Pro tip: try rendering a molecule, a futuristic scene, or a holiday-themed object in 4K resolution, the results are mesmerizing!

For this example, I have rendered the HIV Protease Inhibitor from the RCSB PDB entry 1HVR (Rational design of potent, bioavailable, nonpeptide cyclic ureas as HIV protease inhibitors).

Which 3D scene would you love to bring to life with POV-Ray?

MegaLights are live in Fortnite now! Epic has not officially mentioned it, but in today's video I'll show you why I'm pretty sure they are already active today

Tis the season 🎄

"Coil of flexible ropes"

#raytracing #poothtracing #merrypoosmus

its a spiral of overlapping circles in pov-ray, raytraced as delicious shiny browns, forming what looks like a spire of poo.

Comment mettre de la couleur dans votre #raytracing de la famille Hexacone..

#local R  = rand(Rng1);
#if 	(R < 0.25)	texture { tPlasticOrange }
#elseif	(R < 0.50)	texture { tPlasticBlue   }
#elseif	(R < 0.75)	texture { tPlasticPrune  }
#else 			texture { tPlasticGreen  }
#end	// if

#Povray, c'est trop cool !

Absolute Zustimmung zu dem Crashout über #Raytracing. So gut es aussehen kann, denn das ist nicht über all der Fall, ist der Performance Impact letztlich einfach zu groß. RT ist auch der Grund, warum die #UnrealEngine5 so schlecht läuft, da ihr RT Lumen die Standard Licht Engine fast komplett ersetzt hat. Ich hätte viel lieber mehr #CUDA Cores bzw. mehr Shader Einheiten, als auch nur einen RT Core.

Dying Light: The Beast adds ray tracing on PC, slashing FPS by half for minimal visual gains.

New update brings reflections, shadows, and global illumination but at a heavy performance cost.

Is it worth it?

3. is, in effect, saying that they don't care about in PC gaming for the foreseeable future.

If is a game that requires RayTracing Hardware to play...

...Then I'm selling both kidneys.

@mmu_man : Faire une conférence, je le sens pas du tout, mais organiser un #atelier d'initiation au #Raytracing à l'ancienne, ça me plairait bien, mais le public me semble assez limité. Ceci dit, je peux proposer ça au @tetalab au #printemps, quand ils seront sortis de leur phase #hibernation.

Du #raytracing en #Povray, je demande le projet #hexacone en mode #EGA.

@tth@tube.interhacker.space : Alors là, je n'ai aucune idée de comment cette vidéo arrive dans Mastodon ! Et elle est très ancienne. Ceci dit, c'est un projet de #raytracing en #Povray que je pense remettre en route un de ces soirs.
