For those who'd like more info on the image: it is, of course, the very famous Hubble Ultra Deep Field image: wiki link, NASA link.

Over 10,000 galaxies in that image...

*cough" for those wishing to create their own, here's the download page for the originals: link

Now, now...he said he could do it...so that means original deep space pics and all.
I'd love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

*note I said "similar" - POVRay is a digital generation proggy but I can create space, stars and galaxies, etc with it.

"Similar" does not assume original pics.

I also said I could "probably" do it. But now that I'm challenged, I think I might give it a shot. Don't expect it anytime soon tho. My time is seriously challenged for the next several weeks.

Still want to challenge me?

Those links don't work. :( Let me say this first - I was just messing with you. I remember several of the landscape flyover movies you used to do & I've seen lots of your art work. You challenged yourself, I just want to see the end product. It's like going into a forum and saying you hacked a website - proof or it didn't happen!

Sorry about those links. Just go to the OZZU photo gallery and search for me. Scroll through the pages of my photos. There's 4 galaxy pics there. And yeah, I know you were messing with me. Now though I'd really kind of like to play with it to see what I could do. Would improve both my POVRay skills and Flash. The zoom and the panorama would be what would be the real challenge. Making Galaxies is a breeze with the Galaxy include in Povray. There's like 64,000 random seeds to generate with.
