ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: I had more but I cut it short to fit in under 3 megabites.
  The beginning had the carousel coming up out of the ground.   
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:I began with a photo of my daughter which I took
  with the intent of converting it to a mesh via "4 elements" in Raydream.  I then modified
  each face with Picture Publisher- working on a greyscale conversion of the photograph.
  I used 4 textures for the faces.  One was a generic marble, two were bitmapped from
  photographs of mud and water, and the fourth was from "4 elements" earth textures.  Then I 
  duplicated the 4 faces and painted them in Picture Publisher, saving the tiffs to use as
  textures.  The clown faces are cloaked in the beginning, then uncloaked as the natural faces
  are cloaked.  The "4 elements" texture has a bump channel which makes one of the clowns look
  like he's returning to stone.
