JPGFILE: lw1eden.jpg RENDERER USED: bryce 3D TOOLS USED: sPatch, poser 3, coreltexture, photopaint, bryce 3D RENDER TIME: 1 14 49 (@ 1000x750) HARDWARE USED: amd k62 400, 128 megs ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: If you think about human nature, how can you believe that Eve waited for a second to taste the Fruit? Please read "The Deathbird" by Harlan Ellison to see the Creation myth from the Serpent's point of view. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: serpent: body: spiralizer head,(includes eyes, tongue, fangs, and hood): sPatch skin: coreltexture experiment gone bizarre apple, stem, and leaf: sPatch Eve: poser 3 (CAREFULLY positioned in the scene to be visible in the reflection. Not an image map.) tree: sPatch Source file not attached because it was over 7 megs. Separate dxf's are available if desired for confirmation. Lots and lots and lots of modelling with sPatch. Lot and lots of reflectivity. I wasn't going for photorealism here. All textures except serpent's skin were created in the bryce materials lab/deep texture editor. Rendered large and resampled down some. It seems to help with bryce's sharpness difficulties. Signed, jpg'ed and sent. Regards... LW
