- IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
-
- "Fry An Egg On The Sidewalk", with a lot of people and things added.
-
- DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
-
- Before starting this scene, I did the unthinkable and (gulp) turned OFF the
- computer. Then I took a walk around the town, looking at everything. This
- gave me a *lot* of ideas, especially houses, trees, sidewalks, and people!
-
- My original idea, "Fry An Egg On The Sidewalk", was expanded to include an
- entire street, with two houses, trees and shrubs, and... PEOPLE!
-
- I couldn't find any all purpose "people" files for POV, so I set out to
- create one. Don't worry, unlike some commercial programs (Poser), the people
- in my include file have all of their clothes ON!
-
- All of the POV code was typed in "by hand" - no modellers. I did *try* just
- about every modeller, but I still prefer (and use) the text editor method.
-
- There are over 100,000 individual blades of grass, each one made with three
- skinny triangles. That's all done with the POV memory saving "mesh".
-
- Oh, and I put in some of my "nested loop trees", with a nice include file!
- There are eight copies of the big tree. Each one has 5 large branches, 25
- medium branches, 250 small branches, and many thousands of leaves. Each
- branch has a random angle (within defined limits). It's all 100% POV code!

- I'm writing this file at the EXTREME last minute, so if you need more
- information about the scene, just check the source code (lots of comments),
- or send me some e-mail with any questions.
