3D Rendering: Ton Eighty
This is one image in a series I did about darts. A “Ton Eighty” is 180 points and the highest possible throw achieved by landing all three darts inside the triple bed of the number twenty scoring 3 x 20 for each dart. I modeled and rendered this image using 3D Studio Max. The blurred effect was created by setting a very short depth of field with the virtual camera focused on the dart’s entry point into the dartboard. This effect helps gives the image a more dramatic and photorealistic look.

How about doing that Depth of Field realtime in flash?

John,
Wow, now that’s impressive! I’m looking forward to playing with that Lux framework.

Skilful rendering James but I especially admire the detail where the ‘last’ dart (leftmost) has slid in over the first two, coming in on a slightly higher trajectory. Now that is impressive!
