TITLE: Beyond Reach NAME: Charles Russell COUNTRY: USA EMAIL: russecs@okstate.edu WEBPAGE: http://coetechnology.okstate.edu/chuck/ TOPIC: Fortress COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: br.jpg RENDERER USED: 3D Studio Max 3.0 TOOLS USED: AutoCAD 2000, 3D Studio Max 3.0, Paint Shop Pro 7.0 RENDER TIME: Approx 15 min HARDWARE USED: 650 mhz Athlon 128 mb Ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This is a castle in the far distance that is beyond the reach of anyone set against the back sky drop. ESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I drew the castle in AutoCAD and then imported it into 3DS Max, then applied uv wraps to the model, and applied the surfaces using a bump map and pattern, because of the transition into max the uv map doesn_t take right and the pattern doesn_t randomize properly, thus the pattern on the castle, the backdrop was a picture taken with a digital camera and touched up in Paint shop pro. The ground is a standard bump map. The lighting is an evening sun system set to correspond to the backdrop and to come from that direction. The source file for the picture is not included but is available upon request. Comments Welcome Charles Russell
