IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

It's the last day of the school holidays - last chance for freedom, and the rain
just won't stop! A catastrophe for any child...

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Figures were modelled in Poser. The bench and the bus shelter were modelled in
Wings 3D.
Rain is an isosurface differenced with a heightfield to get the cascading effect
off the bus shelter. Additional isosurfaces were used to get splashes on the
top of the wall, the grass and the ball.
The grass is made from a mesh modelled in Wings 3D, converted to a mesh using
PoseRay, converted again using Chris Colefax and Warp's mesh compressor, and
then modified using Chris Colefax's hair macro.
