IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    Imagine, you read a scary book at night and suddenly
the book becomes alive. Well, that's what I liked to
          capture with this picture. Unbelievable? Who knows. Did you read
lately a book?


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    I started with the creation of the
book pages in RDS and imported them 
          into Bryce. The texture for the left page was made in Paint Shop Pro
were I took a simple text from Word and
          layered it on a leather like picture. I imported then the picture as a
texture map into Bryce. The right page was
          a little bit more difficult to create. I rendered a door in RDS and
transfered the picture then into Paint Shop Pro
          Here I manipulated the picture, so that the edges of the door are
round. The final image was then used as
          the texture map in Bryce for the right page.  From the original door
in RDS, I took the right side and imported
          it as object into Bryce. The door textures are Bryce default textures.
Then I added then the hand, modeled in 
          Poser, and exported the hand also as object into Bryce.  Bryce terrain
editor was used to create the fog. The final    touch to the scene was the
placement of 12 different light sources.  A final remark. If you look closer
into the
          fog, you can see a transparent ghost. This effect of the terrain with
the light was totally unexpected.
