"Cannibal"

I send to you my first entry for your Lightwave Mailing List Contest. I
think that the current UGLY topic is a very interesting challenge for a
Modeler user.
In my work I use the Newtek sofware because the MetaNurbs and the other
tools of Lightwave are an ideal instruments to generate organic lifeforms.

The name of my entry is CANNIBAL and it size is 1024x768 pixels. I have
used to realize this work only Lightwave 5.5 for modeling and rendering,
Photoshop 4.0 for draw textures and bumps of my ugly creature.

Some explanations about my 3d picture:

I had modeled my creature with Modeler using a backdrop image on Z of Front
View. The points created has been linked in poligons and after I pulled out
with Magnet, Drag Net and Move tool this point for modify the complex
MetaNurbs model cage. When I finished those series of operation I made two
Subdivide Metaform operation.

For textures I have rendered some reference pictures and I made simply
planar mapping of Photoshop files.

In Layout I put 4 light (one is a volumetrical Steamer spot light) in a
strategical position and I shoot a rendering with maximum antialiasing.

With my Pentium 120/64Mb, the rendering has been completed in about 1 hour.

Enjoy of my ugly CANNIBAL!

Excuseme for my bad english.
