RENDERER USED: Bryce 3D TOOLS USED: Povray v. 3.02 to compose image on TV screen Spatch v. 1.5 to compose basketball player's head Bryce 3D to compose scene and generate a 58MB .AVI file Corel Photopaint 7 to convert .AVI to .MPG and compose movie poster. CREATION TIME: Rendering time: approx 12 hrs. AVI to MPG conversion time: HARDWARE USED: Aptiva C9E, 200 MHz Pentium VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: dunno. ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: Do bugs ever play with kids' toys when no one is around? A housefly has an unfortunate run-in with a child's toy. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: See "Tools Used." The biggest challenges in creating this piece were using Bryce's texture editor to create a realistic texture for the basketball (I failed) and getting the lighting just right (I probably failed). This animation is the result of less than a month of self-motivated tinkering with Bryce.
