IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

I'm just back from a six-month mission in Mostar (Bosnia i Herzegovina).
I wanted to share with others the landscape that was daily mine.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

I first created a house in the style of bosniac architecture.
Then, using booleans, metaforming and several of the displacement tools of Lightwave,
I tried to erode the house and make it look like it had been bombed.
The pictures I used for the texture of the walls are from sarajevo, mostar and citluk...
I combined these pictures in photoshop 5.0 to create a texture according to the geometry 
of the house.
For the last step, I added eight lights to iluminate the scene. Two of them are negative.
