IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


A contrast between the cities of ants and humans. 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The first idea that hit me was to make an ant farm as my city image. But then I
thought it
would be a good contrast to show an actual city out the window. 

I made the apartment building first, the camera apartment second and then the
ant farm.
The columns are made with MSE, the dirt in the ant farm I made with Terrain
Maker and 
the book bindings I made with Ultimate Paint. Everything else is hand made.

The camera apartment is a fully furnished apartment, even though there isn't
much of it to see.
I reused some furniture that I had made previously for other projects, but used
different textures
to match the decor. All include files are in the zip, so feel free to use what
you like.

I've only been poving for a couple of months so my code may leave something to
be desired.
My apologies to those who try to follow along.  ~grin~
