JPGFILE: the3claw.jpg RENDERER USED: Bryce 3D, Poser 3, Volumm 4D, TOOLS USED: Micrografx "Photomagic" RENDER TIME: 5 hours HARDWARE USED: Pentium IMAGE DESCRIPTION: DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: < I just had the idea of creating an awsome Angel and I said to myself that she had to have a "mission". I did the woman partly with poser 3 modifying the pose I made her naked..as an "Angel" and tried to make her pretty. Then I added two wings that I made with the french modeling software Volumm 4D, as I did for her hair. I imagined a sea-side realistic landscape with Bryce 3D, then I used the 3 claws 3D object that I found on the site: "3D Cafe" I worked on this object in order to include a bowl that I create with Bryce. I made it metallic to represent a world and an ancient symbol of an eagle or any other giant-bird having predated the bowl, which is supposed to figure a planet, or this "captured-Island". I put the strange metal statue on the sea-side So, this female-Angel is coming to free the island and looks angry as she sees the statue which had been there centuries representing the "3 Claws Conquest" and her mission as an Angel will be to fight and destroy the symbol and let you imagine what weird creatures or people could have put this statue. This female-Angel is the symbol of the freedom and peace recovered in this totally imaginary lanscape touched by a curse of bad luck very very long ago. _This artwork I finally did with Bryce 3D took me 3 hours long + rendering. _I precise that this scene has nothing to do with no reality element of any past or present History, neither no existing legend, nor any known Mythology. _ I did the technical retouches with PhotoMagic from Micrografx.> Jean-Pierre Mayet.
