TITLE: crying eye COUNTRY: portugal WEBPAGE: http://members.xoom.com/_tron RENDERER USED: 3ds MAX 2.0 TOOLS USED: 3ds MAX 2.0, adobe photoshop 4.0 and paint shop pro 5.00 RENDER TIME: ? - one day plus 1/2 day of testing and making textures! HARDWARE USED: PII with 64Mb, S3 trio 3d AGP 4Mb IMAGE DESCRIPTION: the basic idea was to make a close image of an eye, so close that we can see what is going inside the soul of a person; but sometimes the brain thinks one thing and e body do another! my main intention was to create a more complex scene but i don't have the skill; the image would be so complex that we can see a whole world in the pupil; so, i try so much to look inside of that person soul that i ended crying (from pupil - where it's the amazing, the impossible...)... DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: i started with a tutorial to create a texture for an eye, the result is eye.jpg in the .zip file! the final result it was a more complex texture; then i render an eye with this more complex texture; nothing more, very simple scene but a more complex texture. NOTE: 1. see eye_4.zip for scene and simple texture! 2. this is my first entry; the other i don't think it's acceptable! 3. see 4eye.jpg [crying eye II] image
