IMAGE DESCRIPTION: This idea is based on a Lava Lamp model by Andy Moorer
09/29/95, although
I have completely changed the model. I always felt that Lava Lamps were
somehow "alive", and the shape has a certain ballistic look to it. Maybe
all that glop inside is just waiting for the right set of conditions.....?
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
The stuff inside the LavaLamp was done with blobs, including the "alien"
figure. The exhaust flame is a cylindrical halo. The rest is pretty
standard:  water ( with concentric waves ), fog, starfield, and "moon" with
a Cork texture
