JPGFILE: mlarts.jpg RENDERER USED: LightWave 5.0 TOOLS USED: LightWave Modeler 5.0, ShaderMan 1.0 for LW (plug-in shader), Adobe Photoshop 4.0 RENDER TIME: 35 minutes HARDWARE USED: Intel P5/90 (overclocked on 100MHz), 32MB RAM, 1.7GB HDD, Trio64V+ 2MB DRAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A film-roll pavement, guiding though the painting canvases, from the film director's chair to the final consumer's arm-chair. The whole scene is lightened with the stage lights. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: There's no special modeling technique used for this image. Standard "rail extrude" for the director's chair, and cylinder cloning for the stage lights ferry. The modeling was the easy part. Making the atmosphere "go alive" was the tough part. Tweaking the contrast between surfaces, shadows, and lights, and getting the saturation right (to get the old-times feeling) took the most time.
