POVRAY - Earth Texture

  1. Create an image of the Earth using the following code.
    sphere { <0,0,0> 1
                texture {
                   pigment{
                      image_map {
                         gif "gifs/earth.gif"
                         map_type 1  // Esfera
                      }
                   }
                }
                rotate y*-180
             }
    

  2. Rotate the planet so that the camera is looking right at Texas.

  3. Use one of the following texture maps: Earth, Earth Lights, Earth Clouds, or Earth All. Convert any images to GIF images using IrfanView if needed.

  4. Name the POV file "week6.pov".

  5. Copy the contents of week1.html to week6.html.

  6. Modify the HTML code of week6.html so that it displays the correct images and word captions.

  7. Upload the images, POV, and HTML files to your FTP site.
