TITLE:rasfantasy COUNTRY: USA WEBPAGE: RENDERER USED: Raydream Studio 5 raytracer TOOLS USED:Micrographix Picture Publisher, Raydream Studio 5, Four Elements Extension RENDER TIME:1 hr 30 min HARDWARE USED: PENTIUM 233 MMX WITH 64 MEG SDRAM IMAGE DESCRIPTION:On this vulcanic world, the creatures propagate by throwing their metallic spheres as far as they can. The spheres then let loose small crawling face-like larvae which melt into the ground and sprout new tentacled life-forms. The creatures live on the sulphur in the atmosphere and may catch and eat any other life-forms, using their image to mold their crawling larvae. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:I used 4elements Earth tool to create a landscape and to create the mask like larvae. I used a photograph of my daughter as the basic grey-scale image map. She doesn't look anything like the final mask. I used the free-form modeler to create the tentacles which I combined together with one of the masks to make the main creature. I added 3 fog forms between the foreground rocks and the background mountains. I also added a red halo around the sun source in 4elements Wind. I also added a blue light source to give the blue more intensity and affect the red clouds.
