Hi folks.

Stephen Thornber here (again...)

** 8mb simm for sale, check end of document **

I have 4 piccys for you today.

CombiLock.jpeg
OpenDoor.jpeg
Rain.jpeg

AlienFinalPic.jpeg

is a pretty old pic of mine (not that old really) I was trying to
do a decent spaceship pic (with C4D v4.2 CD) I am not happy with
the final result because I could not get the laser right.

CombiLock.jpeg

is my latest creation, and I quite like the pic, although the lighting
leaves much to be desired.! (but I'm fussy!)
The lock was modeled/textured and rendered with C4D v4.2 CD
although I use C4D a lot (I bought it.!) I much prefer LW and Imagine
because C4D has no procedural textures (which Imagine excells at)
and C4D's DOF (Depth of Field) is really really pathetic.
(like Imagine's Lens Flares and LW's modeller :)

OpenDoor.jpeg

is a pretty crud pic of a door. yeah what a good idea huh..??
render a door. jeez.
but its not too bad, but not really good either.

Rain.jpeg

is one of my Fave renders.
I did it with the help of Imagine 4, and its superb
"rain.itx" texture.
It took me ages to suss out the raindrops. (actually I mapped
it sideways at first.... heh heh)
But I like the pic, I also like the leaves I modelled by hand
(axis+lines+edges=leaf, then bent it and then had it follow a
path to get that nice curve in it.)
I also added a raindrop on the end of a leaf, but its hard to
spot.

Messages to:-

Kim Walker    -  I Love you my darling..!

Kevin Walker  -  Buy C4D v4.2 - stop using v3.....

Pepper(my cat)-  Stop kipping on my mouse mat...!!!!!

Amiga Format  -  Thanks for supporting the Amiga

Impulse       -  Thanks for supporting the Amiga. (roll on Imagine 6.)

Maxon/Hisoft  -  Shove C4D where the sun don't shine......!!


Note:-

I'm really MAD at maxon/hisoft because they refuse to upgrade it
(apart from adding ppc support)  I got several email's from maxon
and hisoft saying c4d will not have particles,bones or metablobs
in the future as the amiga can't do it....

                           ....MY ARSE....

I wish Newtek/Impulse would send a copy of Lightwave/Imagine to
maxon and prove the amiga can handle particles/bones/blobs with ease.
jeeez, Imagine has had bones and particles since version 3... and now
we're on v5.......

wake up Maxon/Hisoft or DIE......

(I like C4D, its a good package, I paid £80 to upgrate to v2.1 from
the Amiga Format CD, then I paid £40 to upgrade to v3 and then I
paid £30 to get v4.2 CD...  If maxon designed a new version of C4D
with particles,bones,blobs.  I will buy it, so would lots of other
people..)
