IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A corridor of cells
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I started off with something far more complex and far more time consuming and just when I had everything sorted in my mind I was called away by work! Was it ever so?

On my return (one month later!) I was out of time and pushed to complete an image in time. So I came up with this.

More floor tiles! (Am I becoming obsessed with tiles!?) - a little random movement so they're not too regular.

The main structure is simply a merge of cylinders. 

I've been playing for some time with an image of a spider on a web and I drafted up some Qbasic code to generate a simple web - it's too regular to be realistic as a web but it's useful as a nice geometric structure and so became the 'bars' covering the entrance to each of the cells.

There are a couple of lights in each side corridor with a random red/yellow/orange colour. They're slightly offset from each other which results in a nice effect in the shadows in the foreground.

Add a little ground fog and that's about it.
