TITLE: Picnic for string quartet NAME: Eran Dinur COUNTRY: Israel EMAIL: erka@internet-zahav.net WEBPAGE: none TOPIC: imaginary worlds COPYRIGHT: i submit to the standard raytracing competition copyright. JPGFILE: quartet.jpg ZIPFILE: quartet.zip RENDERER USED: Vue d'esprit2 TOOLS USED: 3ds Max, Vue d'esprit2 RENDER TIME: about 70 minutes HARDWARE USED: Pentium2 300mhz 128M ram. IMAGE DESCRIPTION: i am a musician, and in my world, musical instruments sometimes have more personality than the people behind them. The sounds around us become progressively harsh, the light turns cold and people become sarcastic. I wanted to be naive for a while. HOW THE IMAGE WAS CREATED: The hard part was to model a basic violin. I used the real thing for reference, and also some pictures. Everything else was also modeled in Max. I then arranged the final scene and the textures in Vue D'esprit for render. (the plants are, of course, native Vue2).
