JPGFILE: edison.jpg RENDERER USED: Lightwave 5.6c TOOLS USED: PaintShop Pro (for texture creation) RENDER TIME: 11.5 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pent. II 400 mhz 64 Megs. sdram 100 mhz. IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The thought of Mr. Edison having the talent to invent such techno creations such as Satalite Comunications & Fiber-Optic Alarm systems, it is very hard to imagine what the world today would have been! (mind-bending) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I started out with a floorplan I had made up, then from that point on, was texture mapping to get the 'old-look-feel' that I tryed to show as Mr. Edison's house. A bit of meta-nurb modeling on the balcony faces... The textures were all taken from photos I have from when I lived in Germany. ( old castle walls, steps, etc...)
