IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

      I love fantasypics and I love dragons...  So I decidet to modell some of
them. :-) 
      _Minas Morgul_ is the name of an forgotten, dark place in  the great
fantasy epic _Lord of the rings_ by 
      Tolkin. My little Picture shows some creatures, wich are overFLYING
(Topic!) this legendary place.
   


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

For my Picture I didn_t use any kind of foraign material. All textures,
3D-meshes and anything else where mady 
by myself!  

 The Mountains of the Landscape where created by _ll-frac_, a
PD-Landscapegenerator. I paintet the stonetexture 
with my own hands with Deluxe-Paint enhanced and Corel-Paint. The water is a
simple cubic objekt, wich reflects 
the enviroment in a shiny kind and has bumpmapping, wich simulates the waves.
The sky is a spheric objekt with a scanned, self-illuminating skytexture.
The dragons, rocks threes in the front of the image where modelled with 3DS For
the nice effeckt with the leaves 
of the threes I used opacy-maps... But the (in my opinion) most important and
best effeckts are the fogs and the 
dragonfire. Believe me, when I say, that I never used any Ipas-Plug-ins for
them. The precise description of my 
method is my secret, but it has something to do with opacy-maps, too...
         tsch_ss, Torsten

PS: Sorry about my bad english...  :-)
