RENDERER USED: 
    Strata 3D Pro v 3.0 for all 3D shapes including ground

    Adobe Illustrator8.0 for sign lettering and texture maps PhotoShop
6.0 for decreasing the size of the texture maps.

RENDER TIME: 
    15 minutes using raytracing best

HARDWARE USED: 
    Starmax 3000/ 240 Mhz machine with Mac OS 9.0

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    What could be more out of place than an ice vending machine in
a freezing cold climate. On top of that add that it is an Artic Ice  machine in
the Antarctic (South Pole) not North Pole... Go figure?

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Most of the image was done using primatives (cubes cylinders spheres). The
ground was done using a neat technique Strata has in regards to changing a 2D
image into a 3D one.. Total time to put this image together was a few hours.
The hardest task was getting the texture maps place properly.
