IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

This image shows an F/A-18 Hornet Trainer flyinglow over New York City at about
4:30 am EST.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I first started by setting up the camera, lights, and jet model, using
parenting to stick everything together. Then I set up scene effects, backdrop,
fog, etc. Finally I used LW city builder to create the city scape and rendered
the whole thing out at 800x600 17x AA. Since post production isnt allowed, and
I like to add noise to all my images to give em a slighty grainy look, I had to
work around the problem in photoshop, I created 2 800x600 images for noise, 1
color, and 1 B&W. Then I used Lightwaves front image mapping to apply the
images as forground images, and render them with the image. NO post production!
