Hello, my name is Vadim Valiullin, I live in Russia, Ufa, and I am currently a student of the 5th course of Bashkir Pedagogical University, studying design. I want to share with you an article about the creation of the work, “CG Painting”. I would like to note that this article reflects my point of view and is not an axiom. 3ds Max 8 (2008), Mental Ray and Photoshop CS3 were used in the creation of this 3D image.
