IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    A garden scene in which a magician suspends his
assistant in air, with a little help from fairies.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    The figures and statue
were posed using Poser, and output in 3ds format to NuGraf.
The U/V implicit texture maps for clothing and bump maps for muscles 
were made from Poser templates using Photo Workshop.
The hills were made by using Terrain Maker to generate a heightfield image and
Terrain Forge to output the image in DXF format.  The plants were made using
the Lsys32 interface for lparser to obtain a DXF format.
Most 3d objects (fountain, hedges, columns, cape,wings) were created using 
the beta version of Rhino, and output as 3ds(polygons) or IGES(for NURBS)
format.  
Object manipulation and texture creation was done in NuGraf.  The mist feature
of NuGraf was used.  Images used as bump maps give the definition for
the hedges and lawn.
