TITLE: Alien Misplaced COUNTRY: SWEDEN WEBPAGE: http://www.algonet.se/~rbjorn RENDERER USED: 3D Studio MAX R2.0 TOOLS USED: 3D Studio MAX R2.0 with Plug-Ins and PhotoShop 3.01 RENDER TIME: 28 min HARDWARE USED: Pentium 200MMX with 32Mb IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Hmm, what is an alien doing in the museum´s Great Engineering department. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The alien sitting on the chair was modelled with NURBS-curves. Space shuttle created after NASA pictures, and so are the textures. Poster background map found on the net, and rendered in the scene. Shuttle combustion made in MAX using several box Gizmos and Environmental Combustion (Explosion) at different timing to make it look more burnt out further down. This scene rendered separatly, and then mapped on the poster. Light effects created using one Omni lightsource and two spotlights with Environmental Volume Light, making the air look dusty. Reflection on the bases and the floor created using Raytrace 2.0 in MAX. Textures created and modified using PhotoShop 3.0.
