Hello All,

While awaiting more information about "Raytracing" as promised by salalite, I have the submission in reply to last assignment. I cannot classify myself to belong to class of CG Gurus but I cherished what is called "Creativity". I have been challenged and prompted to use my liitle skills in Graphic design to come up with this tagged "My Culture Collage"

I welcome constructive criticism and anyone that can analyse the collage for me. How many pictures makes up the collage?

Until I hear from the house!

Analysis of Culture Collage:

My Culture Collage was as a result of four different pictures from four different location in Nigeria; namely Olumo Rock in Ogun State, Riyom Rock  in Plateau State, Akwa Ibom Plaza in Akwa Ibom State and Land of White Water. All the pictures are blended together to make a town.

It is hard to believe!

I sincerely apologize for the delay in explaining Raytracing. Academics frivolities wouldn't let me be.
Wikipedia defines Raytracing as a technique for generating an image by tracing the path of light through pixels in an image plane.

A simple way to describe it is that a sphere is defined randomly or manually in a plane,2 dimensional to start with. And you shoot rays on the entire pixel of the plane,that is an area of HEIGHT * WIDTH of the plane.Then you check for intersection between the rays and sphere.
Calculating the intersections is pure mathematics. The fun part 4 starters is to choose what what the sphere would look like if an intersection exist and otherwise. Click here to see what it looks like but you have to zoom in to the extent that the width of the image can be seen (I apologize for the extra work).

It is mainly implemented in C and C++ languages but I hope the laymen can get the scope from my brief explanation.

It's also the concept behind light & shape rendering, shadow effects and lots of other optical effects. Therefore, the knowledge of Raytracing is quite vital when designing applications including games that have visual effects.

A physical illustration of Raytracing can be found here and its pictorial algorithm here.

If you are programmer and would like to see the source code for my Way-Ray image, send me a message. Am also a beginner in Raytracing but I can give you the basics needed for it.

Keep the Flag of Creativity and Nigeria flying and don't forget to STAY INFORMED!!!

Nice one Salalite, i have 3ds max on my pc, and i think ave heard of raytracing but never gave it a taught. I will luv to learn more of it

[Emmakc]

Hey, sorry for the long silence. This is one of the 3d character ave been working on.

Welcome back Emmakc!

This is quite innovative! Appreciating nature via creative design. Good thinking... positive outcome...

In my own translation: The image reflects that of tortoise moving round the globe or earth... or what is the concept to you?

Meanwhile, can we have a corporate logo for InfoStrides Forum? Putting into consideration the whole concepts.

Keep up the good work! It showcases your ingenuity...
