IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

A peaceful scene, based on classical architecture and thoroughly out of this
world

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The main part of the image - floor, plinth, columns, arches and external wall
were programmed directly in Povray. The greek letters were drawn in Worm,
keeping the sphere count down for roughness and output to Povray through
CTDS300. The floor textures originated in Povray and were modified in Photoshop
before being mapped. The columns, arches, rear wall and greek letters use
Povray's procedural textures. The sky is a bitmap, mapped to a thin rectangle.
The middle background uses a plasma map from Fractint, imported as a
heightfield. 
The final image was rendered at 5k for output to a film recorder
