IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    Frog sitting on an apple, meeting a potential dinner

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    The hardest parts of this picture
are the modeling of the frog and of the insect. Body of the frog is made 
with Rayflect Blubble, a nice Blob Modeler for RayDream Studio. Legs and
harms are simply made with the internal freeform modeler. The difficulty was
to have a texture covering the whole frog, not individually each part of it.
This is easy in POV, not in RDS. The trick is o export the whole group
in Detailer format (.vdu) as single object, and then import it back again 
in RDS, and then texture it. Hehehe.
The insect is entirely made with shapes modeled in the freeform modeler. 
This one is entirely animatable and Inverse Kinematic'd (for the fun of it,
and ease of composition purpose)
