can this be done? it's really astonishing.

Now this IS awesome. This is the best looking art I've seen in a while. It took someone a long time to create this and it is also quite perpetual. Like a natural landmark. I love it.
Any info on the image?

Disney's animal kingdom
Carved into the tree's gnarled roots, mighty trunk and sturdy branches is a rich tapestry of more than 300 animals -- from the mighty lion to the playful dolphin. Its leaves -- of many colors and four shapes and sizes, all attached by hand to more than 8,000 of the tree's end branches -- number more than 103,000. Its trunk is 50 feet wide and spreads to 170 feet in diameter at its sprawling root base.

The artistry of the tree, from the carvings to every detail of its composition, required 20 artists led by Zsolt Hormay, all faced with the challenge of creating a work of art that was at once both natural and fantastic.

In all, it took more than 18 months and a crew of thousands to complete exterior construction of The Tree of Life.

To maintain fluidity of the tree's carvings, the trunk portion was assembled outside the park with 52 rockwork cages from which the animal sculptures were carved. The trunk then was cut into a dozen giant segments and flown to a construction site near the park. There, the segments were joined in pairs. Finally, the completed six trunk segments were transported by crane to the tree's location, where the final pieces of the trunk puzzle were reunited.

All I can say is..........WOW.
This is killer.

You could play "Where's Fido?"

BigV · 06-26-2005, 04:11 PM

what kind of underground films would they show, I wonder...Daisy Does Disneyland?

Are you two working as a team?

There is actually a "3d" theatre in the tree. It's pretty cool. Disney has a couple of 3d theatres (this is one of their newest ones) I was there the year after the animal kingdom opened, and they had a 3d (interactive) piece featuring the characters from Bugs Life (or Ants - which ever was the Pixar film I suppose)

It was a lot of fun, and the "carvings' are just as amazing close up. It really passes the time while you wait to get in. Disney, by the way, has mastered the art of keeping people entertained while they wait in massive lines.

Neat image. whoever made it did a good job. It looks pretty realistic.

I'm sensing 3D Studio, or Maya. Nice job though.
