DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
I created the mushroom in Rhino and then exported it
into 3DSMAX.I did the same with the fairies created in
Poser and started to create the camera and the lights.
I intended to use a flat floor but I had the idea of
triyng a new plug-in called Grass. I added the tree,
that is a cilinder with some noise,and the background
that is a picture of a forest from my digital photos
collection. When i was almost ending the picture i
found an option called V-Post and i used it for the
first time..Result: the magical powder of the fliyng
fairy and the glow of the two characters. In the gran
finale i made the gamma & contrast correction in
3dsmax and exported the image to Photoshop to resize
it to the actual size.And tha..tha..that´s folks!!
