TITLE: StudioA NAME: Chris Sullivan COUNTRY: U.S.A. EMAIL: LWS495@netway.com TOPIC: Music COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: recordin.jpg RENDERER USED: P.O.V. TOOLS USED: sPATCH P.O.V. RENDER TIME: 9 min 5 sec HARDWARE USED: P.C. IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I was split between the technical aspects of modern music ( ie. recording studios, computers, digital synthesizers,etc..)or going with the basic, primeval roots of music ( ie. sounds from nature, the rhythm of waves, the percussion of thunder, and of course Bird Songs) And so I decided to combine the two... DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Every thing was first modled in sPATCH, then exported to POV. The birds looked mechanical, however, and so I used the "compressed mesh macro" and "make hair macro" that I believe was written by Warp (some one correct me if I am wrong, please) I knew I couldn't make the birds look photo-realistic, and thought it would look sillly if I could, so I went for a cartoonish look. Comment, please!
