IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
This image is a scene of a dogfight between W'cn'oth interceptors and U.N.
fighters on patrol.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
All textures used in this picture were created with Fractal Design Painter 4.0.
The background of this picture is an image of NGC 6543 taken from the Hubble
Space Telescope.
The fighters in this scene were crafted primarily with the 3DS3 Lofter in order
to create some
of the odd shapes used in the fighters. A fractal pattern generator was used to
develop the textures
used on the wings of the green W'cn'oth interceptors. By using a fractal pattern
for the self
illumination map, as well as the transparency the desired results occurred.
