DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: well I started out geting the idea out of my head and on to the screen so I started off with some cubes for the walls, floor and the basic river. I used CSG difference cilinders for the round roof. that was all textured with solid colors at first. than the hard part came, the bricks on the wall has got to be the most objects I have in one file, when I got done "laying" the bricks I had 1106 indavisual bricks, the bricks them selves were Superquadric cubes. the water was done with heightfeilds that I painted with Paint shop pro, the water texter was of my own desine. the rest of the texters wer mostly solid colors with normal granit aplied. the soda can was a simple rotate sweep with a layerd texter and the same with the bottles. the figure is composed mostly of cilinders, the head is made from sPatch objects, and the same with the vest, hard hat, and sun glasses. well there ya go thats how I did it you will have to parden spelling I am dislexic and 15
