Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!

Created back in 1999, I created this image because there was a thread on the LightWave binaries newsgroup during christmas where people were posting festive images! I figured I'd give it a go as well, and this is the result!

The carpet image came from Marlin Studios excellent 'Seamless Textures' collection, and the reflection of the tree was from a quicky render I made of a tree project I'd started (but looked so bad, I never posted it - Though it works great as a reflection!)

The Spinning-light trick was used to created to softer looking shadows you see here.

Finally, I also used this image on a few custom christmas cards I sent to friends and family - Me, cheap? Hehehe! Always!
