IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

Mayby in the far future we don't need them to survive,
but the longing for the mere beauty of trees, plants
and flowers prevails ...


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

This image is 100 % pure Povray source.


There is one 'universal' light-source, six light-
sources to simulate the sunlight, ground-fog, the
sky based upon an example I found to work with
multiple cloudlayers (author unknown by me).

The tree on the left in the foreground made with
the help of the include file by Sonya Roberts 
(with no-default leaves).

The bushes/trees (with the small leaves) were 
exported from Lparser into a include-file 
(leaves with random colors within certain ranges).

The ferns and flowers also exported from Lparser. 

The plants in the pots with the help of the 
include file by Derek Owens.

The trees and spruce in the background based upon
the Vegetation package include file (part of the
Genesis Toolkit).

The futuristic buildings and transport were created
by me as parameters (except for the two in the 
foreground) for the City Generator include file
by Chris Colefax.

The walks and walls in the garden and the grasses
in the background created by me.

The sun and camera-position were created using the
Lens effects include file by Chris Colefax.


The zipfile only contains the scenery-file and most of
the include-files (together with the rather huge 
Lparser-includes and the generated imagefile of the
Sky would take up 8 MB).
