IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
 The Holt tractor was the first tractor to feature "Tracks" and soon became what is known now as  CAT (CATERPILLAR).
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
All of the objects were modeled from primitives in TrueSpace6. The far objects and .jpg background were rendered first and used as a .jpg background for the foremost objects in order to reduce rendering time. The textures are a mixture of texture maps and shaders( DarkTree Simbiont). The tractor paint is a TrueSpace shader layered with a texture map.
