(Stephen Bray, Rob Klein) 4dsol@unibase.unibase.com One of a series of eight proposed homes Turks and Caicos Islands in the Carribbean commmissioned by GENESIS Architecture & Engineering, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Final rendered image was 3000 x 2000 TIF file. Image rendered on a Pentium 133 with 48Mb Ram Architectural elements were primarily modelled in Autocad Release 12; exported as DXF files and converted to Imagine objects using Accutrans 3D by Micromouse Productions. Each layer was set as a separate object.

Palm trees and landscaping elements are primarily scanned images from photos and mapped to planes with filter maps and rendered in scene. (Levels of reflection typically 6-7.) Some foreground items are scanned images composited into final image.

Vehicles are 3D objects downloaded from various internet sites such as Viewpoint etc.

Major textures used are Imagine's Color Noise for stucco finishes; Imagine's Mosaic and Essence FractalC for asphalt; Cylinderhullplate for driveways, Essence Shingles for shingles. The grass is a scanned bitmap repeat mapped to a mesh with ColorNoise added over for a more random appearance.

Lighting is one source light (shadow casting) - 600 intensity; and one infill light - 125 intensity.

Skys are scanned images and set as backdrops (3000x2000) in Action Editor.

Buildings and other elements in background were setup in Stage Editor in previous frame and rendered separately....the resulting image was then used as a backdrop for the final rendering.
