IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


Burn me, but I had to do a scifi image. As soon as I read the topic I could not
get this scene from the first Planet of the Apes movie out of my mind. The
fallen Statue of Liberty. Not just a visual landmark but a cultural landmark, a
symbol of an entire nation. Hence the title.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The female character is a standard Poser3 character with a uv texture map by
Mobius (downloaded from the poser forum). The clothing came from Steve at
www.poserworld.com. The male character "Ultramorph-man" and uv texture map were
created by Confusius confusius@t-online.de and was sourced through the poser
forum. 

The statue of liberty was downloaded from a site found on Uncle Ken's link site.
It was pretty rough so I replaced the face and hand with meshes from the
standard female poser character. 

The city in the background was created using custom buildings and Chris
Colefax's City macro. I tweaked part of the core macro code to get the
buildings to lean at random angles.

The rocks are created using a simple blob based macro I threw together. The sky
is also made with a simple sky macro made at the same time. The beach and water
are height fields using material maps.

2 layered fogs were used and the image rendered with radiosity. A lot of time
was spent on the 
composition and textures.
