TITLE: A Day in Seattle NAME: Eric Wilkinson COUNTRY: USA EMAIL: eric@clearviewdesign.com WEBPAGE: www.clearviewdesign.com TOPIC: The City COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: ewseattl.jpg RENDERER USED: Bryce 3-D TOOLS USED: Bryce 3-D only RENDER TIME: about 30 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium 2 400 mhz with 128mb of ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: It's Seattle. I made an interesting texture that I thought would make a good rain, so I tried it and sure enough I thought it came out rather nice. I then built the buildings, added some atmoshperic effects, played with the textures and viola, your typical day in Seattle. If you want the source file I'd be happy to send it to you, unfortunately it only works in Bryce 3-D. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Well, I was playing around in the Bryce materials editor and came up with an interesting volume texture that resembled rain. I put a large cube into my scene that encompased the whole of the screen and gave it the rain texture. I then built the two forward buildings with primitive objects and simple textures. Then I found a photo of the Seattle Space Needle and made a model based on that image. Again I built it with simple objects with bolean operations to create a more detailed model. I also added some lights to the scene, in the buildings and for a red aircraft warning light. I just had fun. I used PhotoShop to add the Copyright Info and save it as a JPG.
