JPGFILE: plugin.jpg RENDERER USED: 3ds3 TOOLS USED: Photo Express to sign only. RENDER TIME: 4 minutes 14 seconds HARDWARE USED: Pentium 133 Mhz with 16M ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A plug need to be in an outlet to provide electricity, but sometimes, we do have problems if we choose used cords. In fact, without this kind of encounter, anybody could see my artwork, neither get their computers on! DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: All object have been lofted. the wires were created with a curved line, dedicated to be the path; only a circle was use in shape, to create this sinus path, and give the shape the impression of a wire. Transparent spheres were smashed to create the little pool and drops of water in front of the power bar. Sparkles are very thin stretched cones, with a self illuminated and semi transparent texture.
