ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 

A man attempts to escape from a space station, but finds
himself caught in an endless loop.  Clip should be viewed
in loop mode.

VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: 

Should run in loop

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 

My own code was used to generate the land and water areas of the station. 
 
The station window texture was drawn in xfig and manipulated with gimp.

The celestial sphere texture is from Axel Mellinger's all sky view, but I
generated a spherical mapping texture by unwarping a two hemispherical view
with my own code.  The resulting image was then processed with gimp.

The robot pursuers are simply cut spheres and so forth.

The man's flying machine is a blob, custom made by hand,
and the man himself is blobman, from Peter Houston.
