IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

        In this image, you can see a new kind of church, with a new prophet,
Linux, and a new Parish Priest, the computer. Through this picture, I wanted to
show how important became the computers: now you can go to church with
Internet, you can pray with Internet.




DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The "Linux":

He is made with a meshsmooth: I've created a low-polygon model of the penguin
and then I applied the Meshsmooth modifier. Then I added a simple map.

The Computer:

The computer is only a simple booean object: from a chamfer Box, I've "removed",
with the boolean tool, little pieces of it, and after a little work, I've
created a computer.
The Keyboard has beed created with the same method.

The other object aren't very difficult to create.

The hardest work was about the lights: I've worked a lot in order to create a
photo-realistic room: 3DS Max 2 doesn't have Radiosity, so I had to add a lot
of lights in order to recreate it.
