Description
Another image from this year - from a series of images commissioned by a US school science book publisher, this one depicting the layers of soil, bedrock and surface plants etc.
The tree trunk is a model I made couple of years ago and sold here on the MP until recently, as were the fungi. The ferns are from RDNA (didn't have time to make my own on that job!) and the Hazel pant and flowers are from the Maxon Exteriors CD. Grass is Hair Dept.
All assembled, textured and rendered in 8.5 :)

If I was a kid learning stuff today, I would really be a lot more interested in science because of uber-kewl images like this one. Thank you for sharing and making a definite contribution to the future of mankind. :o)

Thanks everyone! - It was a really enjoyable image to make - I always loved 3D cutaways when I was a kid, in all their black and white, low quality glory, so it was a pleasure to do this. Lets hope thie kids enjoy it next September! :)

This top-class illustration! Couldn't be done better. And I agree that this kind of illustration is the best. And in 3D? Children wont be able to take their eyes of this pic. Well done! You've turned something as boring as layers of soil ( :) ) into a beautiful and well designed illustration.
