JPGFILE: cgsxmas.jpg RENDERER USED: NuGraf 2.0 TOOLS USED: Fractal Design Poser, Onyx Tree Professional, Rhino Beta. RENDER TIME: 2 hours HARDWARE USED: Pentium 233 MHz IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Children are ready for Christmas. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The 3 figures were posed using Poser 2, and output in 3ds format to NuGraf. The U/V implicit texture maps for clothing and bump maps for muscles were made from Poser templates using Photo Workshop. The 2 trees were generated and colored using Onyx Tree Professional. All other 3d objects were created using the beta version of Rhino, and output as 3ds(polygons) or IGES(for NURBS) format. The polygon count of the objects was reduced by varying the "resolution" of the NURBS spline fits, exporting as 3DS polygons, and re-importing into models. Object manipulation and texture creation was done in NuGraf.
