IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Sometimes nature gets a chance to reclaim what has been 
taken from her. She then creates a
unique mixture of lost dreams and slowly engulfing growth. I spent most of 
my childhood summers in Yokum, Texas
and I wanted to capture the essence of this beautiful and sometimes sad 
place.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
This is my first image to submit to IRTC.
All models are hand made for this image except for the tall grass near the 
posts and inside the bucket, which was generated from
PlantStudio2.0. All the textures for this image are handmade except for the 
clouds which where created in Bryce and used as a
background in the final render. I added a small amount focal depth blur 
during the render as well as a slight fog effect for atmosphere.
The live oak tree is a real tree I photographed in Yokum. I cut out the tree 
in Photoshop and created an alpha map
then attached it to a simple 2d object. The grass and ground is created from 
a mixture of 2d textures and 3d models. The fence posts
are simple deformed cylinders with hand made textures and bump maps applied 
to them.  If you have any more questions about this
image please email me with them.

Thanks for viewing my work.
