IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


The image depicts an old disused narrow gauge loco standing at its 
final resting place - still waiting to be scrapped.  The railway 
company went bust and closed the line a while back.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The modelling for the image was done entirely using Moray for Windows 
v3.2.   The actual loco I had done a few weeks before as an object in 
its own right, albeit a much 'cleaner' version.  All the objects in the 
scene are pure CSG with the exception of the larger plants, window cracks 
and sign, which are bezier patches.  The building walls are texture mapped 
with a grey scale version of the texture image used as a normal map.  The 
stone arches and window surrounds are a procedural texture.

The source file provided does not contain the texture maps and height fields 
as they are quite large (about 1Mb when zipped) - if anybody wants them drop 
me an email.
