IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Construction begins..   800x600 jpeg

  This is #6 of my Maya Series. "The Flight of the Feathered Serpent".
  The gods gathered in the darkness and shaped the world... 
  .....The Popol Vuh

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
  This entire image was created entirely with WinPOV version 3, using
  superelipsoids, quartics, and all of the other goodies that are
  available with this Most Excellent program! 
  The Jaguar is a "clipped" rendering of the head, exposing all of the 
  layers of construction. (See jcmaya6.jpg for the "fleshed out" 
  version, which was my first thought for the contest).
  The bozo star field was modified from V2 file by James F. Robbins
     Hope you enjoy...They will return!!      
Please visit my homepages & gallery. (I am negotiating for an additional
site to place ALL of my raytracing, VRML, and electronically created art,
CDR's, & perhaps some scans of my watercolors, oils, and drawings!:)
