TITLE: The Eastern Front NAME: Jason Jong COUNTRY: USA EMAIL: harlidobib@redshift.com WEBPAGE: http://www.redshift.com/~harlidobib TOPIC: Winter COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: t34.jpg RENDERER USED: 3D Studio Max 4 TOOLS USED: Rhino, POV-Ray HARDWARE USED: Athlon 1.4 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A pair of Soviet T-34 tanks stand guard on the eastern front in World War II. This image is scaled back dramatically from what I originally intended--tanks in the foreground of a big battlefield panorama, with smoke and burning wreckage everywhere. Lack of time forced me to just go with the tanks in a simple scene. There's a plane for the ground and a plane for the sky. Rather simplistic, I'm afraid--I wish I'd started this image earlier. There's a lot I could do with this, but I spent all my time working on the tank model instead of the environment. I wish I had time to add a trench and some tools, shovels, crates and guns to make the scene more interesting. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The tanks were modeled in Rhino and imported into 3D Studio Max. The sky is a bitmap generated from POV-Ray.
