"After the big tidal wave, people were forced to live under the sea, in big
cities, protected by huge transparent shields. Outside, new creatures
appeared..."

The manta was created with a double bicubic patch.
There is one area light for this scene, and a spotlight for the red appearance
of the submarine base.
The complete rendering uses radiosity and focal blur.
