TITLE: Edisons First COUNTRY: United Kingdom WEBPAGE: RENDERER USED: 3D Studion Viz 3 TOOLS USED: Photopaint 10 RENDER TIME: 15 mins. HARDWARE USED: Pentuim 4 1.7Ghz IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This was an easy one for me. When I was training in CAD years ago I got a project to draw this light bulb in 2D AutoCAD. At the time this was quite a complicated procedure. When I saw the subject title, it seemed like the obvious thing to do. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I took some old images from the internet. I did all my 2D work in AutoCAD and imported the lines in to 3DS viz. With a bunch of lathes, lofts and a bit of mesh editing I had a full model. The materials in this are mainly wood and glass. I used 3DS Viz's build in effects (colour balance, contrast, film grain) to produce the final image.
