TITLE: DRAGONS OVER MINAS MORGUL
     COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT.

     RENDERER USED: 3D-Studio 4

     TOOLS USED: The Textures where paintet with Deluxe-paint and Corel-Paint

     RENDER TIME:  sorry, I don’t remember... :-)

     HARDWARE USED: I used an Pentium 133 with 40 MB RAM 

     IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

      I love fantasypics and I love dragons...  So I decidet to modell some of them. :-) 
      „Minas Morgul“ is the name of an forgotten, dark place in  the great fantasy epic „Lord of the rings“ by 
      Tolkin. My little Picture shows some creatures, wich are overFLYING (Topic!) this legendary place.
   

     DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

For my Picture I didn’t use any kind of foraign material. All textures, 3D-meshes and anything else where mady 
by myself!  

 The Mountains of the Landscape where created by „ll-frac“, a PD-Landscapegenerator. I paintet the stonetexture 
with my own hands with Deluxe-Paint enhanced and Corel-Paint. The water is a simple cubic objekt, wich reflects 
the enviroment in a shiny kind and has bumpmapping, wich simulates the waves.
The sky is a spheric objekt with a scanned, self-illuminating skytexture.
The dragons, rocks threes in the front of the image where modelled with 3DS For the nice effeckt with the leaves 
of the threes I used opacy-maps... But the (in my opinion) most important and best effeckts are the fogs and the 
dragonfire. Believe me, when I say, that I never used any Ipas-Plug-ins for them. The precise description of my 
method is my secret, but it has something to do with opacy-maps, too...
		tschüss, Torsten
