TITLE:"ROMAN RUINS" COUNTRY: PADUA-ITALY RENDERER USED: 3D Studio VIZ 2 - Autodesk Inc. TOOLS USED: AutoCAD 2000 for 3D modeling. 3D Studio VIZ 2 for application to deforming tools, materials and special effects. RENDER TIME: 59'30" HARDWARE USED: Pentium 233 MMX - 128 MB - HD 6,4 GB. IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The image shows a riconstruction of the ruins of the four-faced Arch of Trajan (Location: Leptis Magna-Libya-Africa) and the riconstruction of the ruins celebratory monument dedicated to Augustus (Location: La Turbie-Montecarlo-France-Europe). The two monuments were set in a desert landscape, on a day with a vivid violet sunset, typical of a desert surrounding. The 3D model has been realized with AutoCAD 2000 and imported in 3D Studio VIZ 2 for further application noise tools, UVW mapping and landscape elements (foliage-palms and bush) and ta the creation of the special effects (fog layered and volumetric light). The texture-maps are completely drawn by hand, with Corel Draw, except for the wall map of the drum Augustus monument it has been used the library map in 3D Studio VIZ 2. Source file size : 3,56 MB.
