IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

"At the Market, Early Morning" is an image extracted from the 3-D creation of a
city for my AD&D world called METAPHAZE.



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

This image is composed of heightfields for the terrain and POV Primatives for
all objects.

Each object was created on a "drawing board" and then incorporated into the
scene.

The zip file is composed of the contents of 3 separate directories.

med/*.* contains the basic components for buildings, people, ships and people
cityrich/*.* contains the city components that created the image

The zip-file does NOT contain the heightfields used in this render.  (600K)


The creation process is basically the following steps:
1) Create terrain and base for the city site
2) Add city generic/random city blocks
3) Create specific city components
4) Add details (repeat this step as necessary to infinity)
