Hi, my name is Karl Stöcker, and I was born a long time ago, way too long, in Berchtesgaden, Germany, grew up in Düsseldorf, and since 1966 have been in the US (mostly). I've traveled a lot, 46 countries by this time, and I am planning on many more. I've spent a couple of decades in the US military, active and reserve, and since retirement from civil service, worked off and on as a high school science teacher in a suburb of Sacramento. Ever since my original ID's Doom days, back when it was just released on a floppy disk as a free level advertisement, I was interested in learning about 3D CGI, but I didn't get started until I retired from civil service in 1996. Since then I have been working with Truespace, Bryce, then Lightwave 3D, and Vue. Also dabbled a little in Poser 4, but just bought Poser 6 and am starting sink my teeth into that a bit. My website, http://www.cosmic-pearl.com/, has more details on me, should anyone not be bored to tears by now, also there are LW Viking ship and Star Wars X-Wing tutorials, as well as downloadable meshes (which can be imported into Vue, BTW) - my free stuff to the CG community.

I should have added: A rebel alliance observer, on his hydraulically raised platform, in communication with an overflying T-16. Obviously, the LW 7.5 T-16, as shown previously, the platform and the pyramids, all LW 7.5, and the guy is 50/50. Lower half is LW and the upper body from Poser 4, but equipped with LW gear.

And I MUST add that this is a very well put together image! :)

LOL! Very cute and thank you, LadySythe. The nice thing here is, that, with the use of XFrog and maybe Ozone, this entire scene could probably be done just in LW. That is if you are enough of a purist to balk at the use of a (non-LW) landscape generator.

Couldn't care how it was done. Awesome image. I love the depth of this render.

Brilliant!

Excellent. I couldn't really care less how an artist uses the tools at his disposal, it's the skill and the creative vision that really make an image like this work. Well done.
