IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

        Your child runs home after a long day of school, they seem happier than
most days.  Which is especially strange since this is report card day.  Proudly
they show you the straight A's they have recieved, to your utter disbelief. 
Absolutely unbelievable, you say.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

        This is a rushed attempt, I'll admit it.  I used Pov-Ray for all the
basic modelling, which isn't all that much when you really look at this
picture.  Just a few boxes with a couple textures, the books are just Pov-ray
primitives, and the flowers in the corner.  The flowers were made in sPatch, as
was the cover for the magazine in the bottom corner, The Unrational Inquirer
with a nifty alien on the front page.  That as well as the the report card were
made in Paint Shop Pro.  The nice mountain scenery on the wall was rendered and
then made into an image_map, however it was rendered in Terragen.  Terragen is
a pretty cool ( free ) program and you should get it right now.  Thats about
it, hope you enjoyed my first effort.
