TITLE: Botanic flight NAME: Simon Meacock COUNTRY: UK EMAIL: smeacock@superscape.com TOPIC: Flight COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: sm-seed.jpg RENDERER USED: TrueSpace 2.01a TOOLS USED: Vista Pro RENDER TIME: ? Over night HARDWARE USED: Pentium 200 32Mb RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The background is a Vista Prolandscape with a bump-mapped texture and some vertices painted (white and green). The sky is a squashed sphere to get the blue above and the fade to fog with distance. The out of focus effect comes from TrueSpaces depth-of-field, set at 10 (this involves TrueSpace rendering the scene 10 times). The seeds are made from sphere's and cylinder's etc., with lots of trial and error, then cutting into 1/12th and mirroring and copying to make them symetrical. I haven't included the .SCN file as it's 6.37Mb, and can be produced by trial and error.
