Description
Something quite different from me for a change of pace.
This was created using the 'top' view rather than a 'director's' or 'camera' angle view. Needless to say, the render time on it was 17 hours, 42 minutes. And to save the objects took an additional 12 minutes time.
I used a frame from PhotoScape 3.1 to create the open book look to the render as one would see it leafing thru an atlas.

This is a really neat idea, Keith, The 'crease' is achieved perfectly and I love the map effect. Worth the wait!
Yeah, you get a different perspective using top view, as I found out aways back...Nice one Keith.
Superb concept and execution, Keith! I love books, and the idea of a book of 3D maps really appeals...
