IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This is an image of an archaeological dig outside of some futuristic city unearthing an American flag. 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
To create this image I first scanned a picture of the American flag out pf some book (I forget which one).  Then I faded it slightly using xv bu turning down the saturation.  I then created a gif heighth field useing hf-lab's gforge function.  Ithen image mapped the flag onto this height field.  I also created another height field which I used as the land that the flag is lying on.  To make the flag to appear to not be levatating I turned on the "no shadow" option for it.  I created the trowells bu using mnm's "skinning" function.  I also made a brush but it is barely visible in the raytraced image.  For the cars and city I designed a speckly exture useing thr "bozo" colormap.  For the sky I used the granite color map.  I made the rest of the image using spheres, cones, toruses, and planes.  The final adding of a light gray fog and the image was ready to be raytraced.
