JPGFILE: personne.jpg RENDERER USED: RayDream Studio 5.02 TOOLS USED: RayFlect 4Elements & RayFlect Blubble RENDER TIME: 65 mn at 1024*768 HADWARE USED: PII 300 - 64 Mo RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Please rotate the image 90_ left DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The title means "nobody there" in french. The stones have been created with Blubble and textured with a procedural shader with a dense bump, looking closely like what the pink granite looks like in north Brittany, eroded in cushion-like shapes by the sea. The water could have been made with a procedural shader (wrinkles, waves). But it is not. Those shaders give too symetrical patterns, that is why I used duplicated flattened mountains made with 4Elements, textured with a highly reflective texture; this gives a more natural looking to the water. The sky and sun have been created with 4Elements too, I used 2 cloud layers and a large halo around the sun. Ball and chairs for composition purpose.
