TITLE: Fridays NAME: Vishesh Mankal EMAIL: Vishesh_Mankal@Hotmail.com TOPIC: Mystery COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: tower1.jpg RENDERER USED: Blender 2.27 TOOLS USED: Adobe Photoshop, ZBlur DoF blender plug-in HARDWARE USED: Pentium II 450 MHz 256mb RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: On the top of an abandonded building, two people meet every friday. The two people are unknown to the general population, but some think they are escaped prisoners but there is no proof. These two men have never seen each others face either, for they always meet at midnight on fridays without any indoor lights. They do, however, recognise each other's voice. Nobody knows what they discuss, either. One one them is a former hitman, who gave up his job after his brother was killed. The other one is said to be a former don. But no one really knows... for sure. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I modeled one person, rigged him, posed him and then duplicated him to create the next person and altered the pose. The buildings were created in blender and the depth of field was achieved through the Zblur plug-in. The textures (though hardly visible) were created in photoshop. The lighting is simple, low-key and coloured, to achieve a "Noir" look. Only contrast adjusted in photoshop after the final render.
