IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Deep below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean the mystical city of Atlantis has
survived. A small fleet of submarines discovers the submerged city. Sheltered
by an alien force field Atlantis is still alive. But beware! A gigantic squid
guards ancient Atlantis and attacks one of the curious pilots and his vessel.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

First, a number of building blocks (submarine, squid, buildings, city..)for the
scene were constructed individually. In a second step, the blocks were combined
and some experimental scenes were created. Spotlights, fog and media elements
were added to the final scene to improve the underwater atmosphere. For the
Atlantis force field an emitting media and several spotlights were used.
All modeling was done with the new Moray 3.1. The tool was especially useful for
handling complex, hierarchical structured objects. Highly recommended!
