JPGFILE: nx_nwint.jpg RENDERER USED: Terragen, Blender TOOLS USED: Poser, Terragen, Blender RENDER TIME: 3 min 4 seconds HARDWARE USED: IntelCeleron 700Mhz, 200Mb Ram, 17" Screen IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I hope I'm not out of subject with my Nuclear Winter... Be careful, you mankind, there is only one Earth !! Be careful if you don't want Earth to become this ! DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Yes I know it's a little original for this topic but I think snow isn't fun enough... First I would like to say that music keeps my will up. I was inspired by KoRn (specially "falling away from me")... So I hope I'm not out of subject with my Nuclear Winter. You should know that's a terrible work ! -396 341 polygons -321 475 vertices -94 ojects -8 lamps -12 Mb for the 3d scene (I would like to give this, but it's very too large, sorry) I used compositing with the sky which was made with Terragen. The landscape is a Terragen too, imported in blender. -City Ruins : Buildings are cubes subdivided .I added other cubes to make windows and other shapes... they are an assembling of cubes... After I subdivided, subdivided, subdivided... and I made hole in building to do a destoyed effect. -Dead Body : A poser skeleton except the skull. Poser's skull wasn't real enough. -Dead Body's Skull : The head starting with a cube method. But it's a little different (jaws, eyes) and easier for the nose. And the eye is just a deformed sphere. -Dead Body's Clothes : hum... I wanted to do skin pieces but it looks like clothes, so.... I modelised a body and I made holes on it (like for the buildings), I resized and deformed it for a good look.... - Toxic Barel : circles extruded... piece of cake - The car : it's not a precise model, I don't think this model exist (too late guys... copyrighted... lol) -Nuclear factory : yes yes, there is a nuclear factory... It is a little hidden but here is ! on the right side of the sewer... Cube extruded ands circles extruded for the chimneys... Subdivided and hole on it........ to a destroyed effect It required so many hours of work, I don't know exactly, so many days, probably 30 hours... I hope you like my still, yes I know, the subject.... I started with a snoxboarder but I said to myself "There wille be a lot of snowboards, you must be original"... So i did "Nuclear Winter". Blender is still alive !! Bye WizardNx.
