IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

         The image shows a tipical place in Santiago de Chile, the only real
city I
         have lived in: a lot of cars and buses and hundreds of people involved

         in chaos.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

         The backround was rendered in Bryce: it is a panorama render with a
high
         resolution. This was applied as an cylindrical enviroment map.
         All textures were modeled and rendered separately. The resulting images
were
         used later in the main scene as texture.
         All persons were created in Poser. The rendered images are used like
textures
         in the main scene.
         Each building was modeled separately to avoid the slowness when working
with
         a complex scene. Then they were merged to one main scene. Finally the
scene
         contained 2449 objects. Even the cathedral was modeled (you can only
see
         its reflection.
