HOW IT WAS CREATED

This illustration was created with Discreet 3D Studio Max 1.2. The two vehicles, a Corvette and a '53 Chevy were modeled from scratch. Discreet Character Studio was used to illustrate the woman walking along the front sidewalk. Data to create this scene was gathered from an aerial photo, courtesy of Del Carlo Photography, and 8mm home movies. This database has also been optimized in MultiGen Creator for real-time viewing.
