Done! There's now a glass of water in CVS.

[Tuxpaint-dev] glass of water

2004-12-11 Thread Albert Cahalan
I spotted "glass of water" in the stamps TODO list.
Glass is hard to deal with. There's no way I can do
this one, but here are two ideas for it:

1. PovRay

2. Careful photography

I can produce the stamp if someone can do the photography.
You'll need a tripod, a remote shutter trigger button,
a device (blocks of wood?) for reproducably positioning
the glass of water, some very black and very white material
for the background, and the glass of water.

Take two photos. The glass goes in the exact same place.
(positioning is critical, including rotation) The camera
can not be touched, so a timer will not do. You place black
material both under and behind the glass, take a photo, and
then repeat with the white material. You'll have to stay far
away for the photo, so that your shadows and reflections are
not anywhere near the glass. Don't bump the light or the
table. It's best if you can use a light source that isn't
yellow tinted; second best would be a filter on the lens.
Be sure that the black material is the same thickness as
the white material to avoid changing the glass position.
Make the photos large, without JPEG artifacts.

While set up, might as well also do: milk, beer, orange
juice, Mountain Dew, tomato juice, wine...
