- This is a slightly modified version of an image that was used in the
- February 1990 Amiga Periscope article.
-
- The separate 3D elements in this scene were created in Sculpt 3D and
- converted to Silver format with InterChange from Syndesis.
-
- Several IFF texture maps were used to create the textures on the objects
- in the scene. In addition, Silver's built-in 'disturbed' texture was used
- for the tubular object. The parameters for the texture were arrived at
- through trial and error. I also adjusted the object's filter settings to
- make it semi-transparent.
-
- The objects have a high specular value with a low hardness setting. This
- produces soft, diffused highlights.
-
- Two light sources with ambient light were used. The main light source
- was slightly yellow and the second light source (creating the highlights in
- the lower left) was given a bluish cast.
