TITLE:Nature Outing COUNTRY:usa WEBPAGE: RENDERER USED:NuGraf TOOLS USED:Onyx Tree Professional, Metacreations Poser 2 RENDER TIME:1 hour HARDWARE USED:Pentium 233 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A nature scene dominated by trees. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The trees and bushes were done using Onyx Tree Professional, and exported as DXF. The couple was done using Poser 2.0. For the landscape, a DEM map of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Pennsylvania was used, obtained from ftp://spectrum.xerox.com/pub/map/dem. For the bushes, the leaves were exported as curved plate DXF blocks. The alpha channel of a Japanese Maple leaf image from the leaf library was used for a transparent 2D texture map for the plates.
