TITLE: Valley COUNTRY: Sweden WEBPAGE: mongoose@hem2.passagen.se RENDERER USED: 3D-Studio MAX 1.2 TOOLS USED: 3D-Studio MAX, Photoshop and Bryce2 RENDER TIME: Less than a minute HARDWARE USED: PII, 233 Mhz, 64 Mb RAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A stonecastle with a valley and mountains in the background. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The sky and the mountains were created in Bryce2 and then imported as a background image into 3D-Studio MAX. I modeled the castle with various techniques, boolean operations among others, and applied a so called "Mesh Smooth" to get rid of sharp corners. The ground in the foreground was modeled with so called "Patch Grids" and then modified to make it look less flat.
