JPGFILE: 4eye.jpg ZIPFILE: 4eye.zip RENDERER USED: 3ds MAX 2.0 TOOLS USED: 3ds MAX 2.0, adobe photoshop 4.0 and paint shop pro 5.00 RENDER TIME: ? - one day plus 1/2 day of testing and making textures! HARDWARE USED: PII with 64Mb, S3 trio 3d AGP 4Mb IMAGE DESCRIPTION: the basic idea was to make a close image of an eye, so close that we can see what is going inside the soul of a person; but sometimes the brain thinks one thing and e body do another! my main intention was to create a more complex scene but i don't have the skill; the image would be so complex that we can see a whole world in the pupil; so, i try so much to look inside of that person soul that i ended crying (from pupil - where it's the amazing, the impossible...)... DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: i started with a tutorial to create a texture for an eye, the result is eye.jpg in the .zip file! the final result it was a more complex texture; then i render an eye with this more complex texture; nothing more, very simple scene but a more complex texture. after render i work it out with a difference clouds to achived that look of a sick eye! i dont think this is acceptable! - but if i render it again, it will be acceptable? NOTE: 1. see eye.zip for scene and simple texture! 2. this is my second entry; i don't think it's acceptable! 3. see eye_4.jpg crying eye image
