JPGFILE: antic.jpg RENDERER USED: 3DStudio with IPAS focal blur routine TOOLS USED: converter of BMP to JPG RENDER TIME: 40 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium-90 32 Mo RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I wanted to do a great picture of antique magical art so the skeleton man was an ideal figure. The most time to realize this picture was to create the characters, the special strange atmosphere of torchs and focal blur effect. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I began with the pose of the skeleton who see the blue flame in his hand, after I create the modelization and decoration of the temple, the textures. Last I placed the red-yellow omni lights sources and ambient to create the atmospherical effect, finally IPAS adjustement for renderer focal blur effect.
