IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

     Remember playing with model rockets when you were a kid? hours upon hours
     of entertainment building and launching them. unfotuatly, mine always
seemed  
     to have some sort of built in homing system that guided them towards the
nearest
     big tress...oh well.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

     All the modeling was done with PovSB, ehh..., the imagemaps on the soda can
and  
     the rocket were done in psp...
     i really have no idea why, but some of the wood textures on the fence post
went
     beserk when i turned the focal blur on, so, oh well. i really couldn't find
anyway
     around this.. has ne1 had similar situations?
     The launch pad thingy was based on somehtin i found in by basement..the
rocked, 
     became sort of a hybrid of a Pheonix and a Mavrick missle...
     the ground is just a tightly scaled DMFWood1, wiht a Bumps normal...
     The grass, rocks, and fallen leaves were placed randomly and rotated
randomly 
     through various axies..the grass blades were just deformed spheres, which
almost
     look too prickley, but oh well...


     i think thats it.

     whatever.
