Rendering:
The scene was rendered in Brazil using a few direct lights and a few omnis and spots as specular only. I adjusted saturation on the phone booth and did a few tweaks to Brightness/Contrast settings.
This image was created using
a few of the hundreds of textures from the
Total Texture CDs - very comprehensive texture
collections priced with the hobbyist in mind.
