JPGFILE: ms_horse.jpg RENDERER USED: Bryce 3D (3.0) TOOLS USED: N/A RENDER TIME: approximately 5 hours HARDWARE USED: 486 DX II 66 w/ 40 megs RAM (OUCH!) IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A mother horse staring off into the camera, with her recently born colt nuzzling her side. Near the ocean, with beautiful surroundings I find this image very naturalistic and peaceful. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I started out with a plane as the ground, but the texture map looked awful, so I made a simple terrain in the terrain editor slapped the Grand Canyon tecture on it and called it good. The mountain is just an eroded fractal, I believe, with a Grand Canyon like texture. The horses are some models I picked up a while ago from somewhere or someone. The trees are mostly birch and one cherry, each with a nice bark like terrain texture. First actual try at realism, be gentle.
