IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    Hope this image be clear. Just a landscape, pure, fresh,
luminous. 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

First, the trees, started from scratch with a tree builder for Max, I don't
imagine positioning the thousands of leafs on the limbs, but the shapes of the
trees were made by my hand. I made the roses with 3DSv4, with lofts, the
mountains, aplying noise on a surface and smoothing the joints with the rest of
the landscape. The squirrels! aren't they cute? they were made with balls
deformed with Free form deformation modifiers, booleaned and later smoothed and
textured. I painted the textures, the main is a road, invaded by the "Nature"
(3D leafs, not maps,and animals). 
I decided use a high key ilumination, that's why the image has that exposition,
tone, bright and high contrast. Most elements have high self-ilumination
values, the lights have high contrast values, and the shadows are blurred and
very attenuated. You may not see it, but there is a little of fog on the
right-trees, coming from the bright of the sun, it's a volumetric light. 
Doesn't this image relax you? doesn't it make you feel in peace?
That's all, I won't send the file because it's 53mb.
