COUNTRY : Egypt WEBPAGE : my gallery at :( www.renderosity.com ) > search artist > "shemosus". RENDERER USED : 3d max renderer. TOOLS USED : photoshop for maping. RENDER TIME : 17 HRS HARDWARE USED : P3 450MHZ IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I...ADORE....THE PAST, I'm breathing my memories to live, the future will be colorless,tastelss,odourless, i mean are you aware of what is going around us !!! anything else : i enjoyed working in this piece , wish you all good luck including myself if you don't mind that ! DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: and it all went like this : modelling part : 1- the containers : sphere - edit mesh using soft selection to give it the shape of an egg. 2- the room is constructed using boxes for walls and ground. laser part : free direct light with a volume light function applied to it + lens flares . smoke : cylenderical atmospheric apparatus for the horizontal white smoke. spherical atmos. app. for the vertical white smoke. spherical atmos. app. for the blue smoke surrounding the laser beam. light : one omni source of light placed between the laser guns for the whole scene fading to blue using far attenuation. maping part : and this almost drived me nuts , the technique was simply ( mesh select and then applying material. id to the selected mesh) and i took screan shots while i was working using the print screan button on the keyboard ( don't laugh at me for telling you this , there is always one who doesn't know ), used it in photoshop to map the electronic screen . i wish it was easy as simple as that , but the most of the time was consumed in matching all of this together. .... hope you like it .
