Enjoy...

This is actually my very first rendered 3-D image I ever created - except of some very small rediculus stuff... It was made using a demo version of Vidi StudioProª given away by MacFormat. StudioProª is a bit hard-to-use. However, it's got wonderfull features. One of my fafourites was the feature of 'cameras & lights pointing to single objects' feature, now included in infini-Dª as well.

Anyway, after a few weeks, a copy of Specular Infini-Dª fall into my hands... Now, this one is a spectacular 3-D renderer-animator program by Specularª. You can create stunning effects using very simple ways of doing. Note that many images shown here were created using Infini-Dª 2.6/N, a quite prehistoric version of the program... Anyway, after experimenting with various terrain-generating techniques, this first island image was reality at last. It is not very good, though, since the contour of the area is very sharp.

A few days before, I had created a movie; this was before I become "experienced" with infini-D's terrain-generating techniques, so I used a simple fractal terrain... The movie represents a somehow "transformation" of a planet from a single desert to a great lake with many green "cliffs". The logo "ThŠn" stands up there just for copyright reasons...

This next landscape is one of my favourites. The red atmosphere gives the image a notable 'unrealistic' touch. Also, there is a less sharp contour of the area here, as well better designed waves on the water surface. The background is made of two copies of the front-most island, rotated by random amounts. Finally, the image was manipulated with Photoshopª, in order to give the gradient effect to the sky. I couldn't find a way to do it through Infini-Dª itself...

This is the first image I created about myself... Dunno if the logo is extremely good, but I won't go into that right now. Actually, I was experimenting with some spheres about the way transparency works, and the idea came up: 'Why not add some letters here and there just to fill in the space?' And, voila!

Sometime later (mid September), Infini-Dª 3.2 was finally in my Mac's hard drive. So, I created this next image of a glass, which I'm quite proud of. I had difficulties filling the glass with this pink fluid as well as giving some thickness to the meterial. What you can see here is just a circular plane floating inside the glass. I think it would look much more realistic if I could find a way to just fill the glass, but I don't think there's gravity in 3-D renderering programs... Anyway, you can't say the transparency doesn't add an illusion somehow...

Then (late September's), I thought that the glass was a bit lonely, so I added a few more things, to acompany the main actor... The fluid in the serviser is actually filling the area, it took me quite long to manage, though. To be honest, now that I look at the whole scene once again, I could say it is much too crowded... Maybe I sould do something to correct the noise... Any suggestions are welcome!

Not to forget, every single image having to do with RaveGod or Demoniak has been done by me. This kind of images (that is, floating characters) is one of the easiest to produce using Infini-Dª. These two images were created during the first days of my using Infini-Dª. There has been some Photoshopª-manipulation here, too (lens flaires)...

Now, this is the most recent (27/11/96) image I created in one hour after George (that's a friend and co-student) had the idea to do something using this great Ogilvie font which MacFormat gave away sometime in the past. Dedicated to George (he put me back infront of my beloved Mac - not that I don't prefer my girlfriend, that is) although that's not what he really had in mind. The guy is an artist, has no idea of computer image manipulation -yet, but he does his job well! Anyway, it is really very easy to produce images based on 3-D characters using Infini-Dª...
