JPGFILE: childpro.jpg RENDERER USED: Cinema 4D RENDER TIME: 1 min IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Title: Childproof There are forces out there beyond your control. I realize that children probably can_t be considered forces of nature, but they are defiantly as unpredictable and uncontrollable. Even though the image is slightly off subject, this is what came to my mind when I read the topic for this round. Hopefully the judges aren_t to ruthless. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The hands were posed using Poser 5 and I made extensive alterations to them in Cinema 4D, when I imported them from Poser they looked horrible. The wall in the background was made with 19 cubes placed within a hyper-nurbs object to round the edges. The vase is a spline placed in a lathe-nurbs object. I then made the vase editable and used the magnet tool to give it some variation so it wasn_t so perfect. The stem for the flower was made using a spline and the QuickPipe plugin. The fuzz on the stem was made with the HairDepartment plugin. The texture maps and alpha maps for the flower were done in Photoshop. It_s a very simple image, but I was happy with the outcome. Thanks for looking, and happy rendering.
