JPGFILE: 13lmark.jpg ZIPFILE: 13lmark.zip RENDERER USED: Povray Superpatch TOOLS USED: Paintshop Pro, Poser3, Texture magic, 3dwin, crossroads, autocad, obj2pov, city macro. RENDER TIME: 5 hour 30 min HARDWARE USED: Pentium II with 128Mb ram, Nt4 OS IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Burn me, but I had to do a scifi image. As soon as I read the topic I could not get this scene from the first Planet of the Apes movie out of my mind. The fallen Statue of Liberty. Not just a visual landmark but a cultural landmark, a symbol of an entire nation. Hence the title. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The female character is a standard Poser3 character with a uv texture map by Mobius (downloaded from the poser forum). The clothing came from Steve at www.poserworld.com. The male character "Ultramorph-man" and uv texture map were created by Confusius confusius@t-online.de and was sourced through the poser forum. The statue of liberty was downloaded from a site found on Uncle Ken's link site. It was pretty rough so I replaced the face and hand with meshes from the standard female poser character. The city in the background was created using custom buildings and Chris Colefax's City macro. I tweaked part of the core macro code to get the buildings to lean at random angles. The rocks are created using a simple blob based macro I threw together. The sky is also made with a simple sky macro made at the same time. The beach and water are height fields using material maps. 2 layered fogs were used and the image rendered with radiosity. A lot of time was spent on the composition and textures.
