ABOUT: This image is a frame from an upcoming demo tape I am making. It is all rendered in scanline, and has only 2 brushmaps, none of which are acutally used on the truck or planet. The truck is modeled after one I saw in the Video Toaster Magazine. That image was of a truck used to lay communcations cable. This one is similar, but not exact to it. All modeling of the truck was done using Imagine PC (2.0) on a 486DX/33 MHZ. Then, it was copied to an Amiga 3000 for rendering. The ground is a custom object, with a brushmap on it. The brushmap was created by using VistaPro 2.0 to render part of the Mars landscape that comes with the package up close, to get a detail mars ground picture. The background with the nebula and stars is a hand drawn brushmap from Light 24. Finally the planet is just an Imagine Pastella texture. The truck itself is fully polygonal, with no brushmaps or textures. This includes the black curve on the trucks rear and all the bolts etc... There are so many polygons on the truck, that my PC with 8 megs couldn't quickrender it properly. That is one reason I rendered it on the 3000. Also, I have a Firecracker 24 and VistaPro on the Amiga, which is another reason it was rendered on that computer.
