My entry is inspired by the time I lived in Australia. Sometimes, I visted my grandparents who lived in Echuca. Echuca is about 500 miles inland and is situated near the Murray River. Their home was just a hop, skip and jump to the river and for a little boy, it was a source of exploration and adventure. Kookaburras and Galahs are everywhere and they just "love" Christmas cake, especially when made by my Grandma. It took 40 minutes to render the initial image using Poser4. I was lucky it rendered at all as the low memory warning kept coming on. Postwork with PDPro3 and Photoshop6 and layered texture work for light effect done with photos of rusty metal. To all members of Renderosity - Merry Christmas!
