IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
        This image is of a ship which I modelled over a year ago for a video
game (which has been 98% complete now for almost 7 months - I'll eventually
get around to doing the other 2%). The ships are flying low in atmosphere
through a valley (the height-field was generated using several filters in
Photoshop and a plasma-cloud which I made with my own Plasma v1.01 utility)
over a large body of water with a bright sunset in the background (boy, would
a lens flare ever look good here...).


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
        I modelled the ship with Imagine 3.0 and exported as a DXF. Then
some conversion utilities, created a large triangle mesh for POV-Ray. I made
the height-field with a shareware utility I wrote a while back and altered
it with Photoshop to get a valley...
        Everything else is pretty standard as far as rendering a sea landscape
with POV-Ray...
