IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

A Daytrip To Mars
I assume in future it's possible to travel between different stations 
in the univers. One can make 'a daytrip to mars', not in some fancy 
spaceship but in a 'sixties'-autobus...
In the image this bus is passing through a sort of boundary-post, which 
looks like a square energy-field.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

After a quick sketch, I collected several photos of autobusses. To get a 
general idea of the correct dimensions I used those pictures. I did not 
copy one particular bus, but designed one myself. Front, left and top-view
I drew 1:1 in CorelDRAW. Then I exported the curves in DXF-format so I was 
able to import them in 3DS. The flat shapes were 'lofted' into 3D models.
For further assemble and rendering I used 3DSMAX. The background-image was
made with Kai's PowerTools.


I did not include a .zip file, but when you are interested I'll be glad to 
mail you any source material.
