IMAGE DESCRIPTION: F-18 the choice of Professionals
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
It was constructed within Autocad LT and then imported to the Visual Editor.
The model of the F18 was fairly simple to create, and possition into the scene.
The surrounding cloud background was applied to a flat somewhat wavey plane
and used as the sky texture behind the plane.  I kept this scene simple because
there was nothing to add that would actually add to the plane itself.
The cones were stretched and flatened to create wings, nose, wing bombs and
other parts of the plane.  The hardest thing was to put the texture on the
nose and the wind screen, I kept having problems rotating the map to fit.  
Finally figured that if I would apply it to the object at -90 456720t worked
for the final result.
