IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
<
I chose a Purple main Color : As we know, purple is a daydream and mythe color. It expresses spirituality but with a shade of melancholy.

After 3 years of working every day and every night in his little barn, the expected event is incoming.
The VWBug is born...

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
<
I didn't want to make the basics thinks that the topic can bring to me with much phials, white wards, Reflexion/Refraction materials etc... so, thanks to Frank Delise who inspired me :)
Oki!
First of all, I started to re-create the VWBug with NURBS Curves and Surfaces. At the same time, it was the first experience for me with NURBS, and this work taught me a lot of thing. Thanks MAX!
Then, after the Car Modelling Step, I've made the garage with many details as the 3 curtains in the left side of the image (made with NURBS), stuffs at the back of the car with computers (Polygons Modelling)...
After that, I used fog to show an heavy density included in this barn... then, Volumetric light to produce a magic/spectacular atmosphere.

I created all objects of this scene which contains about 500.000 of polygons (502.685 polygons); 11 lights used.
