My current Lair Opening Graphic is the "Pyramid" Graphic. This graphic was created entirely in 3D Studio Max, with no post-processing in Adobe Photoshop, as is my usual approach. The image actually took only about 15 minutes to create, including rendering time. I had an idea in my head, and simple went for it. I started by creating four smaller pyramids and one larger pyramid. I then created a plane for them to rest on. Once this was accomplished, I applied a water texture to the plane, and a concrete texture to the pyramids. I installed a single light in the image, behind the camera and to the left. I then created a piece of text which said "Sarkin's Lair", then placed this in front of the light. Positioning the text perfectly by far took the longest of any operation. Desiring more of a blue hue to the image, I changed the settings for the light so that it had more of a blue tone to it. I then rendered the image in a "widescreen" format, and the image was completed, as you see it now.
