IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

A bunch of off-duty toys playing a game of football (soccer), with an enthralled
voyeur. I was tempted to call the image "Rabbit Loses His Shirt"...

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Most of the models where made in Anim8or (FREE from www.anim8or.com), and
exported as Wavefront obj's, (or 3ds for the complicated meshes and converted
to obj's using Keith Rule's Crossroads - www.europa.com/~keithr/crossroads).
The pitch board was drawn in MS Word (Yes, Word) using a down-loaded jpg as a
template. Then it was "print-scrn-ed" into MicroGrafx (and then subsequently
"crayon-ed" after advice from a friend who works with kids for a living). The
wallpaper started as some objects arranged in Vue with the camera pointing
upwards toward a night sky. After rendering, it was tiled in MicroGrafx and
used as a texture for the walls. I haven't included a zip of the original -
'cos of all the models the uncompressed file ran to about 17Mb...phew. But if
you're interested in any of the models, pls email me.
