RENDERER USED: Imagine 2.1.3.
TOOLS USED: Poser 3. (cat figure) all the rest is modelled in Imagine.
RENDER TIME: 10 hours.(3200/2400)
HARDWARE USED: AMD Athlon 850.
IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Lighthouses may be impressive, but a real thing is unresistable.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Since the cat was imported from Poser
and allmost all the rest objects are symmetrical, modelling was not an issue. 
Instead I put a lot of effort on texturing and lighting. 
There are three different lightsourses on the floodlight only. 
One light is givin a moonlight and three additional lights are used for filling purposes. 
I  also added several layers of dirt, dust and smear procedural textures 
trying to avoid that over-sterile look often found on rendered images.
