IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The mists crept from the jungle as the cannibals slept sound this early morning,

their stomachs full from the feast the prior evening.  The explorer had wandered

into their camp, smiling and they quickly incorporated him into their 
society/diet (Hummm, tastes like chicken). 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Big thanks to Moray (I'm saving my pennies), awesome program, and all the other

utilities I used.  I modeled most everything and 950f the textures I built, 
the rest I modified.  The mask and map have images laid on them that I created 
in PhotoPaint.  I used HFLab and Erode on the mountains and the ground.  Blob 
Sculptor on the large tree trunk on the left and of course Sonya Roberts tree 
utility on the trees in the jungle in the background.  Thanks to my friend Mike

Robertson for his creative imagination (help with the idea and name).  I had 
envisioned the jungle to be thicker in the background but I ran out of memory 
and wasn't willing to wait for a swapping trace to render.  I used a lot of 
lights (12) to get just the effects I wanted.  I downloaded Moray about a month

ago and have had a ball with it ever since.  I left the 5MB worth of image maps

and HF files out of the zip.  This is my second submission to the IRTC.  I hope

you enjoy the image.
