IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Its a treehouse or to be more precise a treefort. Built by about 5
6 to 8 year olds on a summer vacation. But during winter it gets abandoned in
favor of warmer places (mom and dads house). So here it sits the lonely
treefort empty untill the spring thaw that comes every year. Empty untill the
children come back to play knights and dragon. Untill the girls decide to have
another tea party just to get kicked out by the boys or to be thrown in the
"dungeon" (underneath the tree) of the fort with the unlucky kid who is this
time and always is the dragon.   


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

At first I didn't know what to make so I played around and finally came up with
a treefort. For this pic I had to basicly build the whole thing from scratch. I
made boards copied them, pasted them in to walls, individually textured them
and soon the house was done. The only really hard part was the tree. I had to
make that by hand too, and all of the organic modeling that was done hardly
shows in the pic due to the angle of the camera that made the picture look
good. All well It loosks good, and better than my last entry. After the tree
was finished I went out to the nearest tree ans took photos of the bark and
projected it to the tree model and also used it as a bump map for the bark. 

(*NOTE* I spelled my name wrong ,*sigh*, in the last round, in my hurry to get
the picture out before dedline (its Bengtson not bebgtson, or befgtson or
however I spelled it last time))
