TITLE: Alien Moon COUNTRY: U.S. WEBPAGE: None RENDERER USED: Bryce 2 TOOLS USED: none RENDER TIME: about 15 minutes HARDWARE USED: Power Mac 8600/250,128MB ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This is a picture of a human space ship landing on the moon of a gas Jiant in a distant solar system, and finding humanoid aliens. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: ItÕs actual render time was 1hour and 5 minutes, but that was at 1600 by 1200 so I could print it. I tried to adjust the color in Painter 5 but it didinÕt need it. The ship was created using primitive objects and booleans. The planets are spheres with aditive textures. For the canyon I used BryceÕs terrain editor and a custom filter to make the Grand Canyon effect. The people are actually only spheres and cilinders, which is one of the reasons I didinÕt get too close to them. The source file has 705 objects, and 8.95 million polygons.
