EMAIL: flori76@gmx.net NAME: Florian Wolper TOPIC: Decay COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: Scottish Ruins COUNTRY: Germany WEBPAGE: http://community.webshots.com/user/flori76 RENDERER USED: 3D Studio Max/Terragen TOOLS USED: Terragen, ShagFur, DarkTree RENDER TIME: 25 min HARDWARE USED: AMD 2200+ IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The topic Decay made me think instantely in old buildings or castles. I decided to use a nice backround from Terragen and create some simple ruins which are conquered slowly by the vegetation. The decay of the building has not been interfered by humans. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I started with the backround and placed it in the 3D Studio. Then I was able to position the camera the way, it mached the perspective of the sky. The stones are simple cubes with a noise modifier. The trees are some textures and the grass has been created with the ShagFur Plugin. The birds are very simple objectes placed at a long distance and positioned that way, they look like birds.
