IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

This is my second entry in the IRTC. I have been messing around with graphics
for almost 3 months now, so be gentle :)

A small portion of a exhibit, featuring weapons of famous conquerors, kings,
etc.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The flail head started out as a sphere in Rhino, with the spikes added. The
handle was revolved from a curve. The chain links were piped from a curve. The
display case and glass were just boxes, with the glass highly transparent. You
can see a thin velvet rope around the display.

Although it doesn't show well, the sign on the front is 3D, with 3D letters on
mounted on it. 

In Bryce, I added textures, walls, and lights. I had alot of difficulty finding
walls and floors that didn't overly clash and that didn't look identical. Then
after I found that, I found they didn't work well for lighting....
