IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    A stonecastle with a valley and mountains in the background.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The sky and the mountains were created in Bryce2 and then imported
as a background image into 3D-Studio MAX. 
I modeled the castle with various techniques,
boolean operations among others, and applied a
so called "Mesh Smooth" to get rid of sharp corners. 
The ground in the foreground was modeled with so
called "Patch Grids" and then modified to make it look less flat.
