I made this rendering in 3D
Studio MAX R3. It's a very cool program, if you haven't used
it before, I would recommend picking it up. I found a few textures on 3dcafe.com as well as that
biplane you see there.
This rendering includes:
165,000 polys
13 objects
1 light source (the sun)
6 materials
Reflective surfaces on the water and the plane
Animated water with waves upon waves (uses bumpmapping)
Distance Fog
Coming soon:
Smoke effect from engine on biplane
Motion blur on spinning propeller
A lighthouse
Softened shadows
When I finish this scene, I will
make the .3DS file and .MAX file available for download.
