IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

It's a pretty weird picture if you ask me. That's about all I have to say about
that.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I made the main object in the from in RayDream. I exported it to pov using
3dWin. All the texturing was done using the pov routines, exept the door
texture,and the heightfield which I made in The Gimp. i tried to get those
green things to emmit light using radiosity, but it didn't turn out right. It's
better than without radiosity though. I tried making a nice blue sky with white
clouds, but it turned out as a dark blue sky with green smoke. So I took a
purple sky from one of my older pictures, which turned out pretty well. I would
have liked to have pov-ray media fog but I'm not very experienced with media so
I gave up after a few tries. Even though this image didn't turn out as I wanted
it to, it still turned out pretty good.
