IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    A landmark not only marks a physical location but also a
place in time.  This image depicts a place in time, world war II and some of
the lives lost.



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    The ground is a layer of three
terrain object each with a different texture.  The lowest terrain has a deep
green color with patches of dirt showing.  The middle terrain is fairly dense
grass with some transparency to allow the ground to show through.  The top
terrain is a less dense grass also with transparency.

The crosses were modeled in Truespace 4 and then imported into Bryce.  A simple
marble-like texture was added to them.

The flag pole and the eagle on top are CSG objects and the flag is a picture
object alligned appropriately.

The monument is simple CSG with a bumpmap and an image map applied.

The wall is also a simple CSG object with a stone texture.

As for the trees in the background they are terrain objects with a folage
texture added.

Each item was placed and several test renders were performed to insure proper
alignment before the final render.
