IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    The view of what I thought a child would see when playing
with his/her toy trains. After all, they're not toys to children, they're real.



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    Inspiration from seeing my son Connor
play with his toys and how into his trains and cars he was. Basic Height fields
created in PSP, the trains modelled on the real thing, in my son's toy box.
Made from the usual boxes and things with boolean operations on them. Distant
hills created from three fractal landscapes from within Bryce, and layered at
different angles to each other. River effect taken from in-built height field
in bryce and played about with (although I'm still not happy with it!) basic
plants and trees, also in-built in Bryce. Track (although not really visible)
taken from digital picture of track, and turning into a height field in PSP.
Houses created using basic objects and texture created in PSP. Good fun to do!
Please be gentle, with lots of tips!! Thanks!
