JPGFILE: frenchis.jpg RENDERER USED: Cinema4D XL 5.29 TOOLS USED: Corel Photopaint RENDER TIME: 1'01'' HARDWARE USED: Self Assembled Dual P2-333, 256Mb Ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 1789 : 'declaration des droits de l'Homme' (french Bill of Rights) 1792 : The Terror (people (including the creator of the guillotine) are executed for (mostly) political reasons) (This isn't a french only issue by the way, but it lent itself better than for example, an electric chair for the kind of representation I wanted) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Nothing very fancy here. I searched for pictures of guillotine (and here I must heartily thank Jorn Fabricius for his website (http://www.logp.dk/guillotine) and his help), and then tried to create as detailed a model aas I could master. (no bones, no FFDs, no Nurbs were killed or harmed during the process) Note, that the lower part of the guillotine doesn't really exist, apart for a few polygons. The blood was created with different layers of bump and color mappings.
