IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


This image results from my imagination when I read a small history, 'the temple
of Diane'.
It speaks about a crowned place dedicated to a goddess named Diane, who was
invades by a daemon, imposing her terror.
Each full moon, it obliged the population to sacrifice a woman under penalty of
undergoing her insanity.
Its only weak point was a scraping-knife which it always had close to him.
This one was the only weapon able to destroy it... 



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


I lost much time with POSING, it was the first time that I used it...
That has to enormously generate conversion and of work with UVmapped textures.
I also used MORAY, especially his editor of textures for the various objects of
the decoration (Wall, columns, etc...) 
This project reaches already more than 80 Mo of data (scripts and files bitmaps
of textures uvmapped).

The characters (daemon, man, woman and the cat) come to POSER. 
The plant, the small mouse (in the medium of the image) is files sPatch which I
created especially.
The scraping-knife, the trone, the parchment, the candle are files 3DS
converted.
The flame of the candle is a lens-flare produced with a plugin of MORAY.

All the files used, found on Internet are free rights, and only for
noncommercial uses.
The majority come from www.3dcafe.com...

I would have liked to spend even more time to still improve all this...
But it is not the opinion of my wife... ;-)
