IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The Escherville Municipal Arts Centre is now open for an exhibition of
replicas from Ancient Greece. There you can see, in the sculptures room, the
'Discobolo' of Miron, the 'Archer' and one of the most enigmatic statues of
the ancient world, the 'Jumper', that catches with all perfection the moment
at which the athlete takes impulse to surpass an obstacle.



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

All the human figures are slightly modified poser models, with slightly
modified standard poses, and a little more work on their textures. There
were converted with ABX's conversion utility, PoserRay, and finally rendered
with standard radiosity parameters from rad_def.inc

All the other elements of the scene were created by me, specifically for
this image. Including a macro to cover the ground with tables of wood, the
cloud texture that covers the wall, the benchs, wall sockets and the vase
with Greek reminiscences that can be seen at the end (upstairs) of the
scene.

The picture is an image map (I believe that it represents Platon) which I
took from some site in Internet, (I forget from where)

btw, the "Pioneers" exhibition is dedicated to Dr. Fran Mae, Dr. Max 
Nelan Eane - NZ, Dr. W. Welles, Kudac D. Bivk, Asanri Cool - NL and 
Scyro N. Ghui. I'm sure that you've listened something about them.
