Artist's Comments
All the objects and images in the scene were created by me except the
truck which was grabbed from the Lightwave clip art objects. "Why
re-invent the wheel" I cry, like all the other lazy Lightwave users.
The small house light and the truck headlights were Steamered, any
textures that weren't procedural were created with Adobe Photoshop 4.
Thanks must go to Dan Ablan for his tornado tutorial in "The Lightwave
Power Guide" which I once followed, this helped me, obviously, with the
tornado. Pretty obvious how I created most of the objects, I rail
cloned a small disc to create the tornado (3 of them). The rain was
just a bunch of particles in a block in front of the camera moving down
(with particle blur). The scene was rendered in 740x643 at medium
anti-aliasing and took 3h 30 minutes-ish on a AMD K6-233, 64mb SDRAM in
WinNT. This is my first entry to the contest, one of many I hope.
