IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
	Your child runs home after a long day of school, they seem happier than most days.  Which is especially strange since this is report card day.  Proudly they show you the straight A's they have recieved, to your utter disbelief.  Absolutely unbelievable, you say.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
	This is a rushed attempt, I'll admit it.  I used Pov-Ray for all the basic modelling, which isn't all that much when you really look at this picture.  Just a few boxes with a couple textures, the books are just Pov-ray primitives, and the flowers in the corner.  The flowers were made in sPatch, as was the cover for the magazine in the bottom corner, The Unrational Inquirer with a nifty alien on the front page.  That as well as the the report card were made in Paint Shop Pro.  The nice mountain scenery on the wall was rendered and then made into an image_map, however it was rendered in Terragen.  Terragen is a pretty cool ( free ) program and you should get it right now.  Thats about it, hope you enjoyed my first effort.
