I intended to do a more funny pic than a hi-tec thing... This machine simply converts a cow into loads of tomatoes.

How: all modelled in LW.3.5 on an Amiga 060 (mine), rendered in a professonial studio with a Pentium PC in LW.5 (because of the glow I needed).

2SUBS.JPG
This is a still from a sequence of animation I'm working on. The story segment is about a paramilitary police force in charge with policing the Indo-Pacific rim in the mid 21st century.

The two minisubs were just deployed from a 'supersub'. They are chasing two sharksubs(automatons) that were launched from a surface ship. The minisubs legs are fully articulated. They are quite mobile on land if necessary, but only for a short time.

The animation is being rendered on a Carrera DEC ALPHA@300mhz using Lightwave v5.0 REV B.
And now the disclaimer... :)

This image of a Goop bottling machine was done entirely with Lightwave 5.0, except for the sign and bottle label textures which were done with CorelDraw.

I also used a number of my procedural texture plugins to make the image, especially CG_Noise which was used on many of the surfaces. Rendering time on my Pentium Pro 200 with 64 MB was about 60 minutes.
