JPGFILE:complex.jpg TITLE:Complexe COUNTRY:France WEBPAGE:http://www.3dluvr.com/chrisann/ RENDERER USED:3ds Max9 TOOLS USED:3ds max 9 RENDER TIME:15 minutes HARDWARE USED:P4 3,4GHz - 1GB Ram IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I wanted two things in the same time:(two levels of complexity) - first, a complexe scene with a lot of elements, with reflexions and refractions... - second, a scene to show the complexity of the things; the life is simple and complexe in the same time. It would be very complexe to do simple things like a butterfly and a flower (it's impossible for now!) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I made the flowers with shapes extruded. the flowers are a little near of passiflora (but I'didn't want to do a real passiflora).The textures are made by myself with photoshop.I added reflexion in the background. The gears are only refracted. It's not so easy to do a butterfly! I used nurbs for the wings and primitive for the body.I used also the plug hair. The textures are made by myself with photoshop after unwrap in max. I played a long time with the light.There are eight lights in the scene. s
