JPGFILE: gardensh.jpg RENDERER USED: Bryce, Cinema 4D RENDER TIME: 90 munutes for the background, 30 minutes for the ship HARDWARE USED: Power Mac 8600, 250Mhz, 128Mb RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This is a picture of a space liner with domes with different habitats on the outside of the ship for recreation. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The background was rendered in Bryce 4, the nebula is a voumetric texture I put together in the deep texture editor, all the other textures in the background are also procedural textures I have edited using the deep texture editor. The land in the habitats was made in Bryce and then exported into Cinema. I modeled the ship using Loft NURBS in Cinema. The whole thing took about 30 hours to set up, I have been working on it all month. Cinemas render speed is impresive, I had origionally intended to make and render the ship in Bryce, the ship in Bryce was made entirely out of primitives, but with all the glass and textures it added about seven hours to the render time, Cinema did a more complex ship with better anti-alising in 30 minutes!, too bad it_s hard to get the same level of quality as Bryce has.
