TITLE: Cities of the Plane NAME: Charles H. Rousseau COUNTRY: USA EMAIL: rousseauc@bellarmineprep.org TOPIC: Opposites COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: citiesof.jpg RENDERER USED: DAZ Bryce 5.5c TOOLS USED: Rhino 2.0 RENDER TIME: 7 hours HARDWARE USED: PC IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The old and new or even futuristic in architecture are perhaps not so far apart as the distance in this image suggets. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Pillars and blocks, skyscrapers and adornments, were all mesh modeled as .3ds files in Rhino 2.0 and exported to Bryce. All textures are stock Bryce textures. The renderer was set for depth-of-field, focused upon the ruins, to make the buildings in the background out of focus. I wanted some foliage and greenery in the foreground and in the gap between the old and new, but time prevented me from making those and I did not want to use the stock plants in Bryce.
