Description


What does a UFO have to do with 3D modeling? This photograph looks like a typical UFO photograph that one often sees in UFO magazines and even in newspapers. Of course, it is fake. Yes, this UFO was created in a 3D modeler. I created this scene in TrueSpace using a digital photograph as a background. The scene is very simple. It consists of a couple dozen light objects arrayed into a group and a simple boomerang shaped object created by path extrusion that was placed above the lights. The boomerang object was meant simply to give the impression of shape and is only barely visible in the image. It is the array of lights that are meant to create the impression in the scene. With lens flares enabled, the light sources become visible in the scene and I could create the impression of a luminous object in the night time sky. The most difficult part of creating the scene was creating the exact lighting effects to make the object look as if it were actually a part of the original photograph and not just merely superimposed into the scene. I had to fiddle with the lights until I was satisfied with the luminous effects that would make it look realistic. I deliberately made the object somewhat asymmetrical to give the object some kind of organic feel rather than the feel of a machine or a vehicle. And I wanted to make the UFO kind of mysterious as to exactly what it is. Is it a machine or some kind of organic life form or is it a bit of both?
