Oh, an anecdote. I remember rendering a particular scene in the #PovRay raytracer on that machine circa 1995.
The resolution was somewhere between 640x480 and 1024x768, inclusive.
It took a WEEK to render the scene (drums with a kind of plasma background).
I tried it out on my relatively week ARM #PinebookPro and it rendered at 1080p in like three seconds. XD XD XD
By the way, any other #POVRay artists out here? It's a longshot in 2023, but I can't be the only one left, right? Right?

I've been blogging for 25 years. Here's the things I was blogging about on the first day of August in 1998-ish, 2006, 2008, 2012, and 2020. Enjoy!

#DKB, je n'ai pas souvenir d'avoir connu ça, mais j'ai découvert #POVray sur #Amiga vers 1994, via les forums de #Compuserve. Et depuis, j'ai jamais arreté :)

Donc si j'ai bien compris, les imprimantes 3D, c'est le #povray des jeunes de nos jours.

Spherical Glass Sculpture, by Robert McGregor, Inspired by an actual sculpture outside local art museum... That he displayed as a sculptural art piece in the
internationally famous #POVRay Museum of Art's digital outer courtyard. Using a single "shard" object (a superellipsoid) that was
instanced and transformed via nested U and V loops using the standard spherical parametric equations. Each glass shard is unique, having randomized scaling, rotation and pigment color/interior fade color
