TITLE: "The kNightFish" COUNTRY: Romania WEBPAGE: a-ztech.go.ro RENDERER USED: 3ds max 4 TOOLS USED: 3ds max 4, painter 5 RENDER TIME: 46 min HARDWARE USED: Pentium 166 (running at 188) 64mb ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I guess many people dream sheep jumping over a fence...:) Well I dream fish. Sometimes flying, sometimes walking on earth, and sometimes even swiming. I don`t know why. I think the reason is the fish I take care in my aquarium. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The reason I made the image look like a classical painting is my love for old techniques of creating visual art. First I made the background, using Painter 5. Then went the fish, modeled and textured in 3ds max 4 (I olso "painted" the textures with Painter 5) The final render was done using 3ds max 4.
