[comp.sys.amiga.graphics] Lightwave/Toaster images available for ftp

mark@masscomp.westford.ccur.com (Mark Thompson) (02/19/91)

Over the past months I have received many requests to make available some
demo images from Lighwave 3D, the rendering and animation software that
comes bundled with the Toaster. So I have uploaded a few that I have created
that show off some of Lightwave's capabilities. They are on ab20.larc.nasa.gov
in incoming/amiga/Toaster_Pics. They are all interlaced overscan HAM images and
took an average of about 30 minutes to render in 24bit 1536 x 960 resolution
except for Blender and Tape which took 6.5 and 4 hours respectively because of
shadow generation. The Teapot rendered in a speedy two minutes.

Here is a quick summary:

Blender: This was my contest entry into AV Video's Amiga design contest.
  It consists of various forms of media being jammed into an osterizer.
  Highlights of this image include glass, shadows, a very nice looking
  model of a compact disc (CD), marble counter top, and a digitized
  background image (my kitchen). This image is my favorite.
City: An industrial city scape. Shows off the use of smoke (for smoke
  stacks) and depth cued fog.
F15: A camoflaged (sp?) F15 flying over a field of trees. Of special note
  are the fractal noise clouds and the flame exhaust of the F15.
Office: An office scene with various objects illuminated by a translucent
  hanging lamp and a lit candle.
Tape: A reel to reel tape deck and synth keyboard in front of three colored
  spotlights. Shows multiple colored shadows and various surfaces including
  metallic lights, brick wall, carpet, and striped wallpaper.
Teapot: The classic Newell teapot rendered with a rippling chrome surface.

Anyway, hope ya like em. If you would like to receive 24bit version, let me
know, HAM just doesn't do these images justice!

For those interested, 24bit IFF versions of Blender and Office have been
added (note the 24 postfix in the filename).
