"I am not a dentist, I am plomber, it is necessary between neighbors to help each other mutually" The idea come and I seen the image when I was sit at my dentist ! Brrrrr ! I leave it to running ! ( No It's a gag !) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The first problem are the media, you see ? The second how to do a pipe ? I use Spline.inc macro by Ronald L. Parker ! The third problem are the ambient light with media and the shadows. I place a parallel light_source above image 2d (create with PSP) for the plomber and patient. Since two year I look for make tile, Yeah! Good csg so simple! I do a little macro and use random placing texture and angle y or z to simulate a bad tiling (It is not so gratifying). Alls objects are do to csg except pincers, jar and globulin. I create it with SplineEditor (by Alessandro Falappa) and globulin with Bioform (by ? babayaro@dds.nl) I find the skeleton to http://www.3dcafe.com (I don't put in the zip file for is it to big) and I use the frog created in Irtc "Nature" by myself. I use conclusively "The Placement of the Camera" a macro by Jean Montambeault. At last I work alls the textures and particularly the blood ! Million and Million Thanks for pov !
