IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

A pair of Soviet T-34 tanks stand guard on the eastern front in World War II.
This image is scaled back dramatically from what I originally intended--tanks
in the foreground of a big battlefield panorama, with smoke and burning
wreckage everywhere. Lack of time forced me to just go with the tanks in a
simple scene. There's a plane for the ground and a plane for the sky. Rather
simplistic, I'm afraid--I wish I'd started this image earlier. There's a lot I
could do with this, but I spent all my time working on the tank model instead
of the environment. I wish I had time to add a trench and some tools, shovels,
crates and guns to make the scene more interesting. 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The tanks were modeled in Rhino and imported into 3D Studio Max. The sky is a
bitmap generated from POV-Ray.
