The Persistence of IgnoranceThe Persistence of Ignorance is a gallery of computer generated images. I create these images with a Raytracer, a kind of program that uses a 3D technique called (obviously) Raytracing to obtain a picture from a virtual scene, previously defined. There are many raytracing programs out there, most commercial, but I use only POV-Ray, an amazing and free raytracer, and his unofficial sequel MegaPOV. In addition to the galleries, the site contains some of the source code used to generate these, and also information about the techniques I often use. Finally, there is the almost mandatory links section with a few URLs related to POV-Ray. Please send any comment, suggestion or criticism, about the images or the site, to jaime at ignorancia (dot org). Thanks for the visit, and enjoy the images! 02/20/08 : New work in progress02/06/08 : More cars...02/05/08 : Raining scene finished |

02/05/08 : I'm not dead!I know it seemed so, but no... I was only a bit lazy, a bit bussy and also addicted to Torcs, an open source racing game. But finally I decided to finish and publish all the pending works... for a start, I just uploaded the last images for the raining scene and also a demo for the raining macros. Oh.. and as usual, I had to change a bit the design of the site. 07/02/07 : New color spacesTwo additional wide-gamut color spaces for the LightSys package (see the Extras on the download section). 07/02/07 : Coins sourcesUpon the request of a visitor, I prepared a zip with a basic demo of the coin heightfields generation and assembling. |
