The following were rendered using Cinema4D version 3 and then retouched
in Photogenics 1.2 [ i'm still waiting for ArtEffect 1.5 to pop through
the post! ]. Rendering times varied - the longest being about 1hr 40mins -
all at 1024x768 24BIT and then converted.

System used :- A4000/040 18MB - Cybervision64/3D 4MB GFX card - 1.5GIG HD -
and all displayed on a CTX 20" Monitor - loverly stuff!!

AMIGA-WORKSTATION.JPG : Based on the version on AFCD11 - added text WORKSTATION
                        onto the reflective plane.

BADBOY.JPG :            Designed this from scratch. The hands and fingers where
                        designed using the circle polygon - duplicated and then
                        skinned. The cigarette is made from 2 cylinders - the eyes
                        mouth and alight cigarette effect added in Photogenics. The
                        t-shirt logo added in C4D and scalled using the texture tools.

BADBOYINBATH.JPG :      Used the above and RubThrough one of the PCD pix on AFCD5
                        [ multimedia tutorial ]. Smoke added using the airbrush in 
                        Photogenics.

BIGBUNGY-CAT.JPG :      Used CinemaFont to create the text, then added a ChromeHorizon
                        texture. The spheres have a golfball texture mapped onto them.
                        Added a lens-flare [ so easy in C4D! ]. Finished in Photogenics.
                        Call 0181-907-1603 to see who BigBungy is ...

CYBERGFX-2.JPG :        These CYBER* pictures were all done when I installed the Cyber-
                        Vision card and CinemaFont. They all use rendered fonts. This one 
                        has some text sitting on blocks of granite. I realised later that
                        it should have said CYBERGRAPX and not CYBERGRAPHICS!!

CYBERGFX-3.JPG :        This one was just playing with reflections.

CYBERGFX-4.JPG :        This one utilises a mapped EYE picture onto a plane to emphasise
                        the VISION part of CYBERVISION cards.

CYBERGFX-BOOT.JPG :     Boot picture created adding a lens flare. I cocked up on the GRAPHX
                        part again.I do like the multicoloured texture in C4D!

FLIGHT800X600.JPG :     Designed a basic bi-plane with planes and cubes. The propellers where
                        made using a polygon circle - shaped then extruded. Imported a basic
                        terain from CinemaWorld (large detailed ones use too much memory!).
                        Used a lens flare to simulate the sun.

JQUEST.JPG :            Too much cartoon network inspired this logo. A torus makes up the Q
                        whilst the text was just laid over the top.

RINGS.JPG :             Mucking about with textures and reflections. The sphere has a silver
                        texture which not only caught the rings but also the sky above.

SNOWMAN.JPG :           Created from scratch in about 1-2 hours whilst showing off what C4D
                        could do to a mate! The trees are cones - scaled and then a green colour 
			and bumpmap used to give them more feel. The snowman was made up from
                        spheres (should have used perfect ones!).

SNOWMAN@NIGHT.JPG :     Same picture as above EXCEPT i used MagicLink (superb) to convert a
                        Imagine iob into a C4D one. Added a single light source to create a
                        feeling of darkness.

SUNNY-DAY.JPG :         Playing with MagicLink I converted the boat and tree. The island was
                        a played about with disc and then a yellow / bumpmap added to give it
                        a sandy feel. Wish I was there .... 

WALTONS.JPG :           Simple text with chrome horizon texture infront of a green triangle.
                        Will be using an animated version of this on my WEB page when PPaint7
                        comes through the post.

XMAS-BALL.JPG :         The only IMAGINE 4.0 render! The xmas ball (used as the body in BadBoy!)
                        has a mapped IFF I drew from a xmas card I was sent. The leaves are a 
                        mix of normal and holy leaves (though they maybe a bit small too see). I
                        attempted a ribbon which sorth of works. The two oranges had to be re-
                        coloured in Photogenics.

XMAS-SUN.JPG :          I converted the Imagine xmas-ball into C4D then utilised it with a xmas
                        tree from the snowman pix and stuck them on a bumpmapped sand texture.
			I am hoping to add a melted snowman at some stage!

That completes this months examples. I hope to have ArtEffect and PPaint7 in the next week so will then
be looking to add some effects to future renders.
