The Third and The Seventh: From Bits to the Lens synthesizes in 232 pages limited edition book the art and philosophy behind Alex Roman’s “T&S” shortfilm. After more than one year work, Alex can finally bring this unique piece of art that combines 120+ beautifully hi-res CG prints with thoughts, procedures, theoretical principles and his own personal preferences after many years of trial and error condensed into 6 different chapters.   From the initial planning and modeling stage through to the render and post-production stage, touching upon key themes such as lighting and the virtual creation of vegetation. The so-called practical part of the book is based 100% on the VRay rendering engine inside 3dsMax.
