Overview:
3D landscape representations form a valuable tool to communicate information that has been captured in plan or section drawings. A perspective offers a more personal and emotional approach to landscape visualizations.

Assignment:
In this assignment you are asked to create a simple 3d model in Autodesk 3d Studio Max. You will render a flat image of you model as a base for your Photoshop work. In Photoshop you will collage pieces of images onto the simple objects you created in 3dsMax.
