IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This is my first attempt at rendering, I just started in July
1996. I was sitting at home thinking about summer and different images kept
coming to me, but the one that was most frequent was the image of a melting
soft-serve ice cream cone on a summer sidewalk. (Besides my wife liked that
idea the most)

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The image itself was fairly easy to
create. The hardest two areas were the texture for the cone which I was able to
create with Texture magic. The other hard part was the melting ice cream.  The
melting ice cream is a 5 component blob which was flattened.
