TITLE: Desert Cactus Sunset NAME: Tom Waddell COUNTRY: UK EMAIL: siu03tjw@rdg.ac.uk TOPIC: Desert COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: desertca.jpg RENDERER USED: Vue d'Esprit4 TOOLS USED: Vue d-Esprit 4 RENDER TIME: 20 minutes HARDWARE USED: Imac G3 600 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I wanted to create an image which conveyed the isolation and beauty of the desert. I did this by using a single cactus that would cast an interesting shadow in the sunset. A lot of time was spent positioning the cactus and sun to get the shadow correct. Lens flare was added to give a photographic effect.
