- IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
-
-
- My picture describes the moment when Columbus started his unsuccessful journey
- to India.
- I really hoped you should see that yourself!
- Anyway, I've been working a lot with boats and this one is no exception.
- In my first vision of this picture, the boat was closer to the camera, but
- then
- I realized I didn't have the time to do all the details.
-
-
- DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
-
-
- The entire picture is made in Moray, with CSG-objects. There is one exception,
- though: The mountain.
- This is a hightfield, made in Terrain Maker.
- The houses are mostly big cubes with a fancy texture. But one exception is made:
-
- The big house behind the fountain. This one's made to be big and luxury (for
- it's time, of course)
- and it also has the best view of the ocean.
-
- All the textures has some sort of bumps attached to it, wich make the picture
- more alive.
-
- The fountain is made of a rotatesweep, and the water is thoruses with a almost
- white texture.
- I had some troubles with this object, because it took more than an hour to
- render it
- (800x600 picture, with the fountain as the only object)! Thank God it's far
- away!
-
- The ship is made of cylinders and spheres. That's mostly because it's not so
- close (if I had it
- closer, I would have to do the ship in sPatch, or something like that). And
- another big problem:
- The water around the boat! The water it self wasn't so hard. Two good looking
- colours and
- a granitbump sized up to X-50 and Y-50. But around the boat! I never found any
- way to make it
- look good, so I dropped it.
- Hope you don't mind...
-
- The sky is a very big sphere wich surounds all the other objects.
