JPGFILE: topiary.jpg RENDERER USED: Cinema 4D TOOLS USED: HairDepartment plugin, QuickPipe plugin RENDER TIME: 2min HARDWARE USED: AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+ 793 MHz, 512 MB of RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Earth, Sun, and Moon. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The earth was created using two spheres for the different texture layers. Most of the buildings were created using a free plugin called Hair Department. The tree trunks, tree tops, grass in the pot, and flames on the sun were also created using the Hair Department plugin. The pot is a simple Lathe Nurbs object. The stem and the paths that the rockets are attached to were created using another free plugin called QuickPipe. I smoothed most objects by placing them in a Hyper Nurbs Object. Happy rendering!
