IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


Monstrous warship waits the dawn coming in calm, moonlit ocean. They don't know
that they'll soon meet their destiny as the submarine sneaks silently
nearby...


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


First I want to note that this picture is very dark. If you can't see anything
but the moon, you should adjust your display a bit brighter.

Tehcnically this scene is very simple. Water is just a single plane with
bumptexture. Both ships are mostly primitives (submarine is below the surface
of water). Hull of the warship and propellers of the submarine created with
sPatch, everything else is done in Moray. Moon is simply a cylinder with
moon-like texture. Lit area around the moon is nothing but a spotlight lighting
the skyspere behind the moon. Stars are created with Chirs Colefax's Galaxy
include file, thanks him for that.
