The winter make me sad: the dampness, the cold, the bad weather... So i tried to make something which express this feeling, plaing mostly with the colors,the textures and the lighting. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I used: Real 3D to model the chair, the soks, the scarf, the cap, the skis, the calendar, the shoes; Anim8or to model the jacket and the gloves; PhotoPaint to make the image-map textures; LithUNwrap and 3DWin 4 to uv-map and convert; Moray to model (CSG) the room, the coat stand, the wall-clock, the window, the thermometer, the radiator, the bench, the thermos, the book, and also to set the materials and the scene. There are two light in the scene: one outside which cast shadow is a orient-circular area-light, the other is a shadowless-dim-light inside the room to aid the radiosity lighting.
