IMAGE DESCRIPTION: An attempt at creating a scene from the Frank Herbert novel
Dune.
            A group of "thumpers" set in the sand. The shield wall can be seen
            in the distance. The major object to the right is meant to be a
sand
            worm.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: All the height fields in this image
were created
with POVRAY. As such the tga images are not in the zip archive but the scene
description files
for them are. The "thumpers" were written by hand directly into POVRAY and the
worm was made
using a custom made LSP routine for Autocad,
