IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

A relic from  a long-extinct civilizaton? 
I dunno. I started playing with heightfields and got
carried away. An attempt to produce an image in the 
style of H.R. Giger.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

The scene is set inside a hollow cube. The texture
for the cube has a roughness value of 0, and the reflection 
value is set to 1. There is actually only a single head, 
reflected several times.

The head was modeled in Spatch, then imported into Moray.
The background wall is a heightfield, and the rest is simple
primitives and CSG.
