TITLE:Fantasy in glass COUNTRY:South Africa RENDERER USED:Polyray 1.8 TOOLS USED:Moray V2.5.wat ; PSP (Photo shop pro) RENDER TIME:4.5 Hours HARDWARE USED: Pentium 100 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Some will say it's rather crazy.I will reply that it's a flight of free art. A Gooey atmosphere floating over a glass-flower (Copied and rotated arms on a transparent base) on a distant planet,with a complex (Bezier) Lifeform, happily reflecting. Some colored light-effects and reflective spheres complete the "unnormal" appearance DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Moray was used for all modelling work. The central unit was created,the arms copied and rotated,and the textures edited in the texture editor.A cylindrical bezier-patch-group was created,the top and bottom selected and closed by scaling,and was wildly transformed.Underneath reflective balls were placed, as well as a level consisting of a colored,whorly disc.Colored spotlights and a pointlight from below were added. PSP was used to contrast/Brigtness- adjust the final image.
