TITLE: Little Sand Castle COUNTRY: United States of America JPGFILE: bds_sand.jpg ZIPFILE: bds_sand.zip RENDERER USED: Blender 2.12 TOOLS USED: Blender 2.12 RENDER TIME: Less than 30 sec HARDWARE USED: AMD Duron IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A sand castle! (: DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I decided to try out NaN's free modeler/renderer for the contest. The modeler was excellent for creating the castle and beach. Unfortunately, I had a lot of trouble with dark faces on my "smoothed" objects. I couldn't get radiosity to look good, so I used three simple lights and one "shadow only" spotlight (the only way to create shadows).
