IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Five cybernetic necromancers summon a demon from the 6th dimension of
green slime. Note that the mirrors on the walls are not only mirrors,
they are multi-dimensional gateways. Furthermore there are some altars
for experiments in black magic.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I wrote a little script, to make the tentacles of the green slime
demon  taper on the ends and another one to create those tentacle like
things on the walls near the altars (they consist of many spheres).
The rest was just modelling with REFLECTIONS. I used some light
effects and a distributed light source (for soft shadows). The image
maps were created with Personal Paint and Image Engineer.

The .zip file is only usefull if you have REFLECTIONS!!! I haven't
included the complete scene, because it was too big.
