Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Pyramid of 35 Spheres
This image is a very interesting and colorful depiction of a animated .GIF created by a software called POV-Ray and was converted using Adobe ImageReady. The POV-Ray script can be found on its description page. Blotwell uploaded it using his Wikimedia Commons account, which is also Blotwell last August. It isn't linked to any files, but a smaller version of it Image:Pyramid of 35 spheres animation.gif is linked to the article Animation Computer animation. (Another smaller version is Image:Pyramid of 35 spheres animation large.gif.) The only downside is that it is 1.97 MB and that it can't be made a thumb.
Nominate and Support Alvinrune TALK 20:56, 15 March 2006 (UTC)- weak oppose Despite the fact that this is a great picture and a good animation I find the light reflection off the spheres to be very distracting even though it makes it look more realistic.

- Tip: always find a good home for the pic before posting here, because it's a criterion for FP that the images add significantly to an article, and you'll very likely get opposed if it doesn't. For this pic, I'd consider switching it for the low res dice in POV-Ray and maybe even swapping it for the lowish res header pic in Ray tracing ~ Veledan • Talk 22:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

- Weak oppose It's not used in Animation. A much smaller version is in the sub-article Computer animation, but rendering details get lost in that size. Wish we had a really good example of computer animation on WP, something like this wmv example ;-) --Janke | Talk 23:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment It's not that easy to make computer-generated animated .GIFs. I liked the .WMV link you gave. ;-) Alvinrune TALK 02:37, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- Support. It looks brilliant and shows of the best of Wikipedia. --Midnighttonight 00:31, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
