IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


   Family of the future visits Tranquility Base, the site of the first
manned landing on the Moon.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


   Got the idea for this from seeing the stills topic at the same time I was
watching
"From the Earth to the Moon" mini-series, wonder how many other entries are
going
to be the same subject.

   All primitives where created with Raydream except the ground and the
spacesuits,
which where made with Raydream add-ins listed below.

   All textures are shaders I made with Raydream's shader editor, except the
image-map
 for the flag. I could never get a good gold-foil texure to the descent stage, I
finally
 just settled for something close. I always had trouble with textures in POV
too.

   Add-ins for Raydream used :

      Supermesh - Creates height-field mesh from image file. I used
groundmp.pcx,
                   a grayscale image which I generated with Raydream.

      Blubble Modeler - ( Blobs ) Used to create spacesuit mesh.

   Used Photostyler 2.0se to hand-draw image map for flag ( flag_tex.gif ).
