I used Pov-Ray to design the project. The Persistence of Vision Ray-Tracer(tm)
was developed from DKBTrace 2.12 (written by David K. Buck and Aaron A.
Collins) by a bunch of people (called the POV-Team? in their spare time.
The following is
the steps of designing the project:
Step1:
I decide the percentage
of the graphic for sky and plane. For the plane, I make its color green like
grass
For the sky, I make its color blue and add some clouds to it. (I got some example codes of cloud and edit it )
Here is the picture for step1:
Step2:
After the first
step done, I added rainbow to the sky and make it more beautiful. The graph
done for step2:
Step3: Using the cones and spheres to
design the wind-turbine. The following graphic with one wind-turbine:
Step4: Design another wind-turbine, and point
some light on it. Here is the final graph done
For this project ,the difficult thing was that rotating the cones and
spheres to make the wind-turbines nice and real. I also tried to make a lake on
the plane, but I found it looked worse when I added it. Although it looks very
simple, it took me a lot time to read the related materials and
be familiar with the Pov_Ray tool. It also took a lot time to move the objects
the specialized position through changing the matrix of objects.
