This is another ray-traced view prepared in FormZ renderzone. What makes this interesting is the effect used for trees.

The FormZ rendering is imported into Painter Classic for freehand rendering. Again, rather than starting with a ray-traced image, this would normally be just a flat shaded image which makes rendering of the model faster.

What's neat here? How about the bitmap 'media wall' which is on the left of the image. The media wall was drawn in PowerCADD and included bitmaps from various sources. PowerCADD was used to export a composite bitmap of the media wall which was applied as an imagemap in FormZ. PowerCADD is not just for drafting!

An interior shot of the main gym created with FormZ Renderzone (people 'mannequins from Poser). The model provides the context and implies people and motion and let's the viewer's imagination fill in the blanks. The net results is a more effective presentation than if one tried to render 'real' images of people. In this case, less is more.

Here's the same image, loosened up in Painter Classic. Think of this a 'study' sketch'.
