TOOLS USED: 
    Poser 4.0, Bryce 5 terrain editor, Xara 3d For My signature, And a
Poser model I found on the web called Tulips.  The Authors Text follows:
Amazing Miracle-Grow Tulip        by Bloodsong
        (http://www.3dmenagerie.com/)


   This is a 100% original mesh, created by me; it is a Poser-ready prop.  

USAGE:

   This is free for use in any image/animation, personal or commercial, without
restrictions.  The geometry and files included in the archive may not be mass
redistributed, in whole or in part, in original or derivative or converted
form, for free or for pay.    (Translation:  create any image animation and do
whatever you want with it.  You may NOT store this set of files on your web
site for download or burn them to cd for distribution, whether or not you sell
them or give them away.  If somebody wants you to email them this archive,
singly, that's fine.)
   Ancillary works (such as new textures, morphs, uv mapping) may be created and

PACKING LIST:

        TULIP2.PP2/RSR Poser Library Files

   Extract these two to any directory under your blahblah/runtime/props/
directory.

        TULIPY.JPG yellow tulip
        TULIPRY.JPG red and yellow tulip
        TULIPPRP.JPG purple tulip

   These are the textures for the tulip, extract them to wherever you keep your
textures. Note: the JPGs have been compressed with JPEG Optimizer, which allows
the in-between areas to be maximally compressed while the actual texture bits
are minimally compressed. (so if you see the text looks all godawfuly mushy and
blurry, dont think the *whole* image is too-compressed.)


MISC NOTES:  um... the un-grow morph reverse-grows the tulip.  (that is, 0=full
grown, 1=beginning stage of growth.)  the rest are pretty obvious.  Bend 1 and
Bend 2 will bend the stem left/right front/back for some variety.  Oh, and all
the parts have different group names, and i mean EACH leaf and petal has a
name, so you can attatch a magnet to it and do whatever you want.  (use the mag
zone controls to tell it which group to affect.)  you can even make the petals
drop off.  cool!
  lastly... i dunno why, but sometimes the light shines through the petals and
gives them weird shadows.  dunno if this is a poser glitch, havent tested it in
any other renderers.

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    I am really just a beginner but I must admit you can learn a
lot from tutorials you find on the web.  
I really enjoy looking at other persons images and wondering how do they do
that.  The trouble i hav the most is with putting water
in a boolean negative once I have created one.  This is the part that takes me
forever.  Everything 
else I have pretty much learned how to do easily or with th help of the
tutorials.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    First I had to think of what lonely
meant to me.
Then after the idea came, I used mostly bryce terrain editor to create the
objects.
Bryce terrain editor is wonderful.  You can pretty much create anything your
imagination will create.
After that I did some boolean tutorial tricks and used the bryce tree editor for
the bushes.
Then I went to Poser for the tulip, posed and textured it theway i wanted it,
exported it to an
object file, and imported it into Bryce, all the time asking my kids for their
opinoins.
After setting things this way and that way, andlooking at it from differnt
angles I settled for this angle
and rendered it.
