JPGFILE: digifly1.jpg ZIPFILE: digifly1.zip RENDERER USED: 3DStudio Max 2.0 TOOLS USED: Shag Fur Plugin, Tree Factory Plugin RENDER TIME: About 17 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium II 400Mhz 384MB RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A lazy summer afternoon on the river... keep your eye on that fly for the first sign of a strike. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: This image was an afterthought after I created a number of "digital flies" for an animated screen saver which I generated as a gift for friends last Christmas. The whole idea came while watching my dad tie some flies - I thought it would be fun to try tying my own flies "digitally". Shag Fur (Digimation) was used extensively to create "feathers", a standard Tree Factory (also from Digimation) tree for added effect - everything else was easily modeled and textured with standard 3DStudio Max maps. Check Arnoldanimations.com for my full collection of animated digital flies in the original digifly screen saver.
