IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    A lot of people have the dream of easy money. This scene is
dedicated to my coworker who is addicted to lottery scratch tickets.  He thinks
it's a money-making proposition.  Dream on, dude!  The scene is meant to
represent our office environment.



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


Modeled in Moray except for the thumb/finger patch created in SPatch and
exported in Moray format.  The desk/mousepad/mouse are simple GSC.  The tickets
are ticket-shaped heighfields with imagemaps.  The Dream On! ticket is an
original design created in Paintshop Pro.  The other ticket images were found
on the Web. The coins are also heightfields based on a US quarter-dollar image
I created in Paintshop Pro.  The thumb is actually two of the thumb patches,
one, slightly scaled down, inside the other.  The "core" thumb patch has a
bumpmap applied.  The outer thumb patch is filled with scattering media and has
a normal map, crackle to wrinkles from base to tip.  The thumbnail is a bezier
patch.  The fingers are just copies of the thumb rescaled.  Lighting is by 3
arealights placed above the action like office lights.
