TITLE: Atlantis COUNTRY: Germany WEBPAGE: not yet RENDERER USED: povray 3.1 TOOLS USED: Moray 3.1, Photshop 4 used to create the hightfield and for gamma correction RENDER TIME: 49 min HARDWARE USED: PentiumII 233, 64MB IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Deep below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean the mystical city of Atlantis has survived. A small fleet of submarines discovers the submerged city. Sheltered by an alien force field Atlantis is still alive. But beware! A gigantic squid guards ancient Atlantis and attacks one of the curious pilots and his vessel. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: First, a number of building blocks (submarine, squid, buildings, city..)for the scene were constructed individually. In a second step, the blocks were combined and some experimental scenes were created. Spotlights, fog and media elements were added to the final scene to improve the underwater atmosphere. For the Atlantis force field an emitting media and several spotlights were used. All modeling was done with the new Moray 3.1. The tool was especially useful for handling complex, hierarchical structured objects. Highly recommended!
