IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

This scene is meant to be two planes in a war . The first plane is releasing
it's bomb load while the other unlucky plane has been hit by anti-aircraft
fire.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The whole image was made using simple spheres and cylinders .  The planes and
bombs were made in Moray . For the fire on the plane I created a hollow sphere
and cone . The sphere is used to give the orange explosion using a halo.  The
cone makes up the smoke in black an white behind the explosion. This was also
done as a halo and I think that the smoke increases the realism a whole lot
more . The plane texture was done in PaintShop Pro .
