Image description: A robot father and son in a museum. Why would robots not be interested in their history?
Description of how this image was created: For this picture no fancy or innovative modeling was required. It was all pretty straight forward. Because Bryce scene files get rather huge, I only included the models of the robots. For the texture of the painting on the walls I used pics of motherboards I got from the Internet and applied a filter to give them a more painted look. The picture in the other hall is a Voodoo card<s>.
