New!, how to create a simple waterfall, check it out at the end of this site.

A simple image:

	First of all, we are going to tell you something about the program self, this is the top of the program, where you can choose what sort of images you want to use or what sort you want to import in your image. For example, take a mountain, rotate the mountain just to the place were you want it, then secondary choose some water, place this were you want it and import an object, YOU have created your own image!!!
In the first text we told you that you could rotate the mountain use the options (shown next to this text) to rotate the mountain or the desktop anyway you like it. At the top of this image you see a little picture of the images you are creating, look often to that little picture, so you know precisely what you are doing and how the image will look if it is rendered. Below the little image you see an complete image of an moun- tain with some objects, use this options to rotate the object and the mountain together at the same time to the same direct- tion. Below that options you find three crosses all standing in another position, with the two at the top of them, you can rotate the image to the X an Y positions. The options in the middle of the picture gives you the possibility to rotate the image from the top to the buttom and back. With the big cross, you can rotate the image anyway you like it, do this slowly, otherwise you will lose the image in his position. The last 5 balls are made for quick rendering.
	Okay, after finishing the two part, we are ready to make a new image. Select in the taskbar the option File and choose new document and the next screen will be activated (Document Setup). Choose your type of resolution that you want to work with, do not choose a resolution higher than your own monitor- resolution, otherwise your images will not be as good as it has to be. Than select the type of image you want to make (for a normal image you don't have to choose anything, it's normal) and than click okay, your empty image is loaded, your way to something special is open!!!
After that you have created a mountain or a terrain, that has been told in the first text you can create an material to that mountain or you can import an object and edit it with some materials, choose the Simple&Fast for light images, the Planes&Terraines for mountains and for terrains, the Rocks&Stones for Terrains, the Waters& Liquids for a Lake, See or a Waterfall. Use the material Clouds&Fogs for low fog or high clouds, perfect for a mountain in the clouds, very nice. Use wild&Fun for some weird images, use Complex fx for some strange images and use the Miscellaneous for imported object. If you import an object like a ball, use the options of Glasses, for perfect images and a beautiful reflection of your image, use Metal in you image to make something look strong, use something of Volume for making a Waterfall, Tutorial speaks for itself and you as user can import handmade images in a new image.
	Here you have the opportunity to import a lot of objects, like trees, strange mountains, rocks, paths and many more. Experience something out for yourself!!!
After all this work is done the hardest and toughest work begins. You have to find out which Sky you are going to import for your image, you have to choose between the standard Sky's, but you have also the possibility to import a Sky from the Internet. Do not use a dark sky in a light image and do not use a colorful Sky in a light image, there is a lot of "finding out" to do. You'll see, after that you have created a lot of images you can choose the right Sky for your image.
	The image is now completed and the only thing you now have to do is to "render" the image to the disk. You have to choose the option "Render to disk" in the taskbar, again by File. After that the computer will render the image, this progress may take a few minutes up to some hours, that depends on the type of image you make.
