IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A game of marbles being played on blacktop. A chalk
line has been drawn for the boundary. A crack in the pavement has
allowed a weed to sprout through.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
I created the marble textures by using some of the included textures,
modifying them and making up my own. I used a paint program to make the
chalk line and image mapped it onto the pavement.  The marbles were
placed by hand.
About half way through developing this image, I heard about RHINO on the
newsgroup. It is awesome. After playing with it for a few hours, I came
up with the weed in the dirt. 

Until next time,
