Arnon's Orthanc Fly-By Movie
This is a 3D model replicating the Orthanc tower of Isengard, as seen in The 'Lord Of The Rings' movies.
Programs used: Maya 4.5/Maya 5.0, Photoshop 7.0, After Effects 5.5, IrfanView 3.8, XnView 4.11, VirtualDub 1.5.7, Creative WaveStudio.
The model has ~43k polys after optimization. A 1024x1024 (IrfanView generated) single texture was applied on the entire model, utilising it through 3 different materials. Lighting incorperates Mentar Ray 3.2's Final Gathering & Global Illumination and also Depth-Of-Field.
The images were then rendered at 640x480 at Maya .IFF file format, then converted to .TGA, and were run through a couple of functions, all using XnView: Resize (800x600), Color Balance (+30 Red,+30 Blue, +30 Green), Contrast (+25), Sharpen (+50). Then all was inserted into AfteFX, and the Potoshop-Generated Text & Logo were added and the final composition was rendered un-compressed at highest quality, in AfterFX. Then the uncompressed movie was compressed and added music in VirtualDub using Div-X Production-Level compression (at a bit-rate of 8,000), and at once, resized to 400x300 (at the DivX compression options box of VirtualDub), for the 'Low-Res' version.
