IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


Kheper, the Egyptian dung beetle god of dawn, is rolling the morning
sun across the sky.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The grass, the papyrus plants and the stars were created with
scripts. All other objects were modelled with Art of Illusion, mainly
by deforming triangle meshes, although I also used some CSG for the
beetle and the obelisks. The beetle and the fish have skeletons, which
made it easier to pose them.
