First file: ruins of Olimpia temple (Greece), modelling with Rhino. Icarus and dedalus generated by Poser: mesh modelling (10.000 poligon by Human-best quality). The .3DS file imported in 3D StudioVIZ 3 for application noise tools, UVW mapping landscape elements (foliage), special effects ( volumetric light). Final rendering. Source file size : 18,32 MB. Second file: architecture house father dedalus, modelling with Rhino . Poser for Icarus. 3D StudioVIZ 3. Source file size : 23,56 MB. Third file: The wings of icaro is modelling with Rhino, genereted by tracing background bitmap, with curve free-form. Surface the wing is a sweep 2 (Sweep along two rails).
