EMAIL: richardmassey87@hotmail.com NAME: Richard Massey TOPIC: Mystery COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: Crystal Ball COUNTRY: UK WEBPAGE: http://www.rivenuk.homestead.com RENDERER USED: Bryce 3D TOOLS USED: N/A RENDER TIME: ? HARDWARE USED: Pentium 4 Windows XP IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A crystal ball, on a table, amongst a variety of other mysterious objects. The crystal ball forsees a castle, surrounded in a fog of intrigue. By the way, this crystal ball actually creates a solid object in the glass sphere. That explains the look of the castle [so no comments saying it looks 'too solid', OK?] What is this enigma of the castle? What does it all mean? Well, that's why it's a mystery. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: *I combined boolean objects and added textures using Bryce 3D to make the ball *Other objects were created separately in a similar fashion *I re-arranged the objects until they fitted well *The landscape was created - the mountains, rocks, and water *Cloud and atmosphere features were changed to finish the scene
