IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
A strange building somewhere deep in the desert...

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
This is my first IRTC entry. The scene is completely hand-scripted,
no special techniques used, just spheres, isosurfaces, superellipsoids.
And #while loops, of course.
The footprints are made of an iso-heightfield. I drawed the shape in PSP, blurred it,
und used it in a image_map, wich I added to the function of the floor-iso.
Some media-clouds in the distance are mainly responsible for the slow render.
I used an unevenly scaled sphere as a container and some density statements.
