This room was simply created to attempt and produce an animation using Global Illumination lighting techniques. It worked. The 3d model was constructed and animated in Discreet's 3DS Max 4 and the rendering was done using Final Render.
The fire in this animation was created using Phoenix from DIGIMATION, a plugin for 3DS Max.
Global Illumination or (GI) is a light calculation method that allow 3D applications to render very true to life images. Such as this girl above. Yes she is 100% 3D rendered.
GI features amoung other things "sub-surface scattering" a technique where light can penetrate your 3d model and have it glow, kind of like skin or transparents liquids do.
There are more GI examples in the still renderings section.
Can't see the animation?
