- IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
-
- When Benjamin Franklin flew his kite in 1752, he wanted to
- know if lightning was electricity. He risked his life to
- find out that it is. We wanted to recapture that stormy
- night that led to the discovery of the power source that
- reshaped and improved our world in so many ways.
-
- DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
-
- Philippe modelled and textured the clocktower while Kyle
- made a kite, a hand (the original point of view was as seen
- from Franklin's eyes) and the lightning. Zeger added a tree
- and a sky, but because he wasn't happy with the result, he
- repositioned all the objects, added some height_fields (made
- in HLA), used a different tree macro(and placed more trees),
- improved the kite and clocktower, and added Franklin. Zeger
- began to work on this new scene-setup about 1 week before
- we had to submit it.
