IMAGE DESCRIPTION: NEW02K ("Planet Nursery") depicts an imaginary place
                   where planets are created.  Three floating camera robots
                   ("Portacams") examine one of the "incubators".
                                      

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Brute force.  No modelers or
  imagemaps were used.  the robots and planet are separate .INC files
  (which you may feel free to use).  The .ZIP file contains a small .POV
  source file to trace a closeup of one of the Portacams.  Also included
  is GRIDS.INC which I used to measure the Portacams during development.
  If you change the position of the Portacam arms, the flash units remain
  pointed at the same place.
