TITLE : COLONY (colony.jpg)

COUNTRY : QUEBEC, CANADA

HARDWARE : Dell workstation pentium II 333, Ram : 128 megs

RENDERER USED : the final rendering has been done in Lightwave 5.0

TOOLS : I have used Photoshop for the textures and image-maps
all the modelisation came from Lightwave's modeler
 
RENDERED TIME : about 15 minutes

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: we are deep under the ocean, and some humans have choosed to live under the ocean, 
the egg-style of the colony is explainable by the fact that there's a lot of pressure and allow 
the structure to fight those high pressures
a little sub is in its final arrival to the colony, probably coming from surface, so the colony
gets its approach-lights on
as we are in the great deeps, the view is blurred by the water and the particules in suspension

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED : 
i first have modelized the ground, and the main station, then worked on the image-maps i need
when everything were in place it has been the work around the view angle, lights, bump maps etc ...
it took about 4-5 days before calculating the firsts finals renderings
