IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
The jawa sandcrawler.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
The desert landscape has been modeled with Vistapro. First, i made a 2D
design of the terrain with Photoshop (gray scale levels), and with Vistapro
i transformed it to 3D. Then, i exported the image to a DXF file (it took about
half hour, due to complexity of the mesh), which was included finally into the 
scene.
The Sandcrawler (from Star Wars) has been modeled with the basic tools of
3DS (no plug-ins), having as reference images from books and the films.
The lights are simulated using transparency property of materials.
The textures of the Sandcrawler and the sky background were hand made with 
Photoshop (no plug-ins).
The Sandcrawler model (with textures) is available at my personal web:
