OK, this is my contribution to the NWDA contest, and I just read that it's allowed to put the images into the gallery too. So this is what I did.
As I mentioned in the NWDA contest thread I had this Indiana Jones feeling in my mind.
The plane model is a free one from Turbosquid which I tweaked a bit. When the whole thing was rendered and put together, I rendered a b/w mask of the plane (a white selfilluminating material for the plane and a black material for the terrain, no athmosphere, no shadows) and used it to select only the plane in an editing app and created a little bit of motion blur on the plane.
The ruin is a terrain I created by drawing some structures in photoshop and using the BMP inflator in TG 0.9. I imported the .ter file into TG2 and used a heightfield resize operator to resize it.
The people are lowpoly humans from somewhere. I created a group of humans and saved these as an .obj file. So I only had to use one population for different people.
Fortunately I found some Indy fonts in the web. Most of the time I don't like too much writing on images, but this time I couldn't resist.
