We usaully had this competition amongst our friends to build a playing card pyramid.We would often break each years record the next year, but quiet often it would happen that one playing card from somewhere inbetween the pile would fall off and we would not be sure whether to place it back or leave the triangle untouched. The cabin walls ,windows and roof have been directly modelled using standard tools and techniques in 3ds max.I have also used standard textures available along with 3ds max for all the models. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The cards front texture has been created using photoshop 6 by texturising a plain beige colour with canvas texture. The back of the card were created by taking snapshots of the actual cards and editing them using photoshop 6. For lighting I have used standard omni lights in MAx. The ambient only charateristic has been adopted extensively throughout the image.2spot lights have been used to highlight certain areas of this image
