EMAIL: velenux@penguin.it NAME: Gilberto Ficara TOPIC: Fortress COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: Baby Fortress COUNTRY: Italia WEBPAGE: http://www.veleno.f2s.com RENDERER USED: Blender 2.04 TOOLS USED: The GIMP (to create and/or scan textures) RENDER TIME: 6 minutes and 36 seconds (1600x1200) HARDWARE USED: AMD Athlon 550mhz with 256mb ram. Trust scanner 9600. IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This is my very first image done with Blender. I think it's pretty realistic. Approximately 1700000 faces here! :) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Modeling was not so difficult, shapes are simple. The most work was done searching for photorealistic materials and correct lighting. This is my first image ever done in Blender, and the first in my life with this type of photorealism in mind. I hope my aim was achieved! :) The Peanut's albums was scanned from books I got in my childhood, other drawings are from my brother, my sister and me, done in a distant past... I think around 1986-8. The parquet texture was downloaded from somewhere on the net. (that's identical to my bedroom's parquet!! goo!! :D )
