IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The thought of Mr. Edison having the talent to invent such techno creations such
as Satalite Comunications & Fiber-Optic
Alarm systems, it is very hard to imagine what the world today would have been!
(mind-bending)

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I started out with a floorplan I had made up, then from that point on, was
texture mapping to get the 'old-look-feel' that I 
tryed to show as Mr. Edison's house. A bit of meta-nurb modeling on the balcony
faces... The textures were all taken from photos I have from when I lived in
Germany. ( old castle walls, steps, etc...)
