RENDERER USED: Cinema 4D RENDER TIME: 1 min IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Title: Childproof There are forces out there beyond your control. I realize that children probably can’t be considered forces of nature, but they are defiantly as unpredictable and uncontrollable. Even though the image is slightly off subject, this is what came to my mind when I read the topic for this round. Hopefully the judges aren’t to ruthless. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The hands were posed using Poser 5 and I made extensive alterations to them in Cinema 4D, when I imported them from Poser they looked horrible. The wall in the background was made with 19 cubes placed within a hyper-nurbs object to round the edges. The vase is a spline placed in a lathe-nurbs object. I then made the vase editable and used the magnet tool to give it some variation so it wasn’t so perfect. The stem for the flower was made using a spline and the QuickPipe plugin. The fuzz on the stem was made with the HairDepartment plugin. The texture maps and alpha maps for the flower were done in Photoshop. It’s a very simple image, but I was happy with the outcome. Thanks for looking, and happy rendering.
