Image Information: 1280 x 1024. Rendered in Cinema4D with Best anti-aliasing, full reflection/refraction and Soft shadows.
The render time was 15 minutes and no post-processing was used other than to insert the copyright notice and signature.
Artistic Information: This was the beginnings of the Aimanhyarin house scene used in Aimanhyarin Bedroom and other images, and
is part of the visualisation for the Arnagest project. (The Aimanhyarin use psionics instead of technology in their daily lives
and a Paralumologist is a person who uses psychic power to charge crystals used for lighting.) With this image, I began using the
procedural textures in Cinema4D instead of bitmaps created in Photoshop. The cloudiness in the crystals is the result of the
'bhodiNUT 3D Noise' shader which allows the creation of 3D variations in transparency and luminosity within the body of an object,
rather than the 2D surface-only variation obtainable from bitmap textures. The human model is a modification of the Zygote_Man model
supplied with Cinema4D; I added the beard, wings and cloak, changed the shape and size of the eyes, and modified the skin, clothing and
hair colours and textures. The chair, table and crystal models are available for download from the Downloads
page. (Please note that the crystals cannot be converted to DXF or 3DS models as they rely on procedural texturing inherent to Cinema4D.)
