IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


 The picture is inspired by a comic I did a long time ago and I'm
thinking about maybe making a little animation of it when I learn 
how to do that.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


 I used this projekt to teach myself 3DS Max so I tried as many 
different techniques as I could. I'm not always completely sure 
exactly how I made some objects but here it is:
 Most of the building is made with simple boxes and cylinders 
with texture maps that I made in Photoshop, like the walls, and 
some that came with 3DS, like the metal parts. The bars in the 
window are loft objects.
 I used a cold directional light for the moonlight and a warm 
omnilight to light up the shadowed parts and two neutral spotlights.
 As for the robots the head is made with a boolean operation, the 
shield is a lofted object and the legs and arms are boxes that I 
manipulated with Edit Mesh, especially extrude face.
 The text "espen 1998" is a font that comes with windows.
