IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

There's something about the morning that captivates young hearts.
The sun, silently opening it's eyes upon a new world that, yet still asleep,
beckons for renewed life.  The chill claws at my spirit with it's glassy haze
that resides upon the dampened streets.
                                                Scott McDonald

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

- I found the bike on the net somewhere. I beleive it was at the Avalon
free-download site.
- The figure was done in Poser II
- Both models were then imported to Rhino where the peices were put together and
made to fit.
  The character's hair was modelled in Rhino as well.
- Moray for windows is an excellent addition to Lutz & Kramer's already great
modeller,
  which I used to create the textures and place the completed models into the
scene.
- The city was done using an include file built by Chris Colefax. This version
of that file
  is fairly simple and I didn't want to put it up for grabs just yet.  There
should be a new
  one out soon. Check his webpage for this and more great plug-ins!
- His new Galaxy.inc file was used for the background, although the stars are
quite dim, it
  gave a smokey look to the skyline, which I thought added atmosphere!  And of
course, the
  Lens-Flares... (don't need a comment)
- And of course, POVRAY was used to render the scene. What would the graphic
community do
  without this behemoth of a FREEWARE Raytracer?
