IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
The image shows a riconstruction of the ruins of the four-faced

riconstruction of the ruins celebratory monument dedicated to 
Augustus (Location: La Turbie-Montecarlo-France-Europe).
The two monuments were set in a desert landscape, on a day with
a vivid violet sunset, typical of a desert surrounding.
The 3D model has been realized with AutoCAD 2000 and imported in 
3D Studio VIZ 2 for further application noise tools, UVW mapping 
and landscape elements (foliage-palms and bush) and ta the creation
of the special effects (fog layered and volumetric light).
The texture-maps are completely drawn by hand, with Corel Draw, 
except for the wall map of the drum Augustus monument it has been
used the library map in 3D Studio VIZ 2.
