IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

My try to utilize the power of halos. I really liked the afterburners. The
whole thing is a sequel to the last round (see mrakan3a under Science
Fiction). I tried to do things as simple as
possible, so I created the fighters from the future and a bit strange control
tower. First is sitting peacefully on landing pad, second is about to
vertically land, third is burning aft.s to the max and leaving from runway,
fourth is already airborne and doing crazy stunts.
I couldn't help not to notice a strange occurance on my image: the black
patches. After a prelonged thinking I concluded that they are a bug from the
height_field which is supposed to be flat in vicinity and canyon and hills
in distance. However something unexplainable happend to it.
The tower looks blended and generally very bad. This is because of the JPEG
conversion. In TGA format (origigy) it looks apsolutely fabulous.
