IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The initial idea was to depict underwater dome living spaces. A test render
inspired the title, and the title inspired further model development.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The viewpoint is in a spherical chamber connected to an identical chamber with a
tube (section of torus). The sphere-tube intersections are filleted with toriod
fragments, then a subtracted plane makes the flat floor. These connected
chambers are subtracted from a huge cylinder of glass. A sunset sky-sphere
provides the illumination and envirionment. A dark plane just under the floor
gives contrast and a horizon.
