IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


The image shows the myth of Icarus and Dedalus.
Is a trithic composed by three differents scene.

- Left scene:sacred place the ruins of  periphter tholos, with the solemn
ceremony to put of wings

father house is a
place to get out of, for the Star City

consequences.

I have work a three different file. 

First file: ruins of Olimpia temple (Greece), modelling with Rhino. 
Icarus and dedalus generated by Poser: mesh modelling (10.000 poligon by
Human-best quality). 
The .3DS file imported  in 3D StudioVIZ 3 for application noise tools, UVW
mapping 
 landscape elements (foliage), special effects ( volumetric light). Final
rendering.
