IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This is my first attempt at rendering, I just started in July 1996. I was sitting at home thinking about summer and different images kept coming to me, but the one that was most frequent was the image of a melting soft-serve ice cream cone on a summer sidewalk. (Besides my wife liked that idea the most)

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The image itself was fairly easy to create. The hardest two areas were the texture for the cone which I was able to create with Texture magic. The other hard part was the melting ice cream.  The melting ice cream is a 5 component blob which was flattened.
