Hey Garry,
From what I saw of the previews on the site, they look awesome. Can’t use yet though ’cause I’m still tryin’ to get my Acer’s video card happy with ‘em. It’ll happen. Damn nice job though.
Many thanks, I’ll play with it this weekend. Focal blur is half the beauty of that one. It’s amusing – I worked on POV-Ray over a dozen years ago, and I find that Radiosity is /still/ warned about as experimental.

WOW! This looks great! You should try to get this included in Ubuntu 8.10.

This looks very nice but how about some non-distro specific ones?
Not all of us use *buntu you know
(Linux Mint {yes I know its a ‘buntu fork} user, Looking to play with some other distros too)

Hi confused.brit,
I always intended to do that, but never got round to it. I’ll make sure Mint is on the list!

Is there anywhere to get the POV scripts? I’d like to render a full-size ‘ubuntulogo’ for 1080p.

Hi Joel,
I always intended to release the source, but never got round to it tidying it all up. Here’s a version I used to render a hires image myself:
http://parker1.co.uk/files/ubuntulogo-hires.pov
To render it (360 frames):
povray -Q11 +A -W1680 -H1050 +kff360 +kc ubuntulogo-hires.pov
Then you can turn it into an ogg using something like:
ffmpeg2theora -v10 -x1680 -y1050 -o ubuntulogo-hires.ogg ubuntulogo-hires%3d.png
You can make it render much faster by changing the focal blur (that’s what takes all the time):
aperture 1.5 // more blur
aperture 0.75 // less blur
variance 0 // high quality
variance 0.9 // low quality
Any problems, let me know.
