IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
It's my first image created with Pov and Moray (i have always used Real3d till now).
All hints is welcome.
The scorpion is a insect but it's also a sign of zodiac (it's mine).


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

The ground is a HF: i've created a image_file with the symbol in PhotoPaint.
I've modelled the scorpion the plants and the litle stones with Anim8or (with subdivision-surface),
saved in 3ds format and imported in Moray (UDO) with 3dWin 3.5.
The logo is made with EleFont.            
I've used a image_map (created with PsP) in a layered_texture to simulate the dust over the logo
and the plants; all the others materials is a procedural textures.
I've used Moray for scene and materials settings which i've modified in PovMan editor.
I tried to simulate the global illumination with a radiosity setting studing the tutorial of
Christoph Hormann.
Thanks.
