- Journal:
- This has to be one of my favorite shots, and it was a real
bear to make! You see, 3D Studio just can't create very good
laser effects straight out of the box. You have to have lots
of cool little plugins (which I can't afford) to produce
truly professional looking effects. Fortunately, I can still
draw them by hand in post production, but it takes a long
time. As a result, I don't do too many battle shots for the
gallery (some of you even wrote me asking if I was a
pacifist!)
