EMAIL: mwhite@redshift.com NAME: Marty White TOPIC: Getting ready to strike COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: Takeoff COUNTRY: United States WEBPAGE: Do not have one at this time. RENDERER USED: Virtual Reality Version 2.0 TOOLS USED: Autocad LT, Virtual Image, Virtual Took Kit RENDER TIME: Around 45 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium 100 w/64 megs of memory IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The beauty of flight to me is a couple of F-15'S taking off. There commanders watch and hope they all will return knowing that some or all may not. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The planes were created in Autocad LT and took the most time to complete. The hangers and mountain scenes were created in the Virtual tool kit, the tool kit is almost the same as Acad Lt except it offers some shortcuts to creation. The sky was texture mapped on a flat plan surface that was pushed way back in the scene. Every single object even my name at the bottom was rendered. Much thanks to Harry Chang for the use of his Officer mesh.
