CREATION TIME: 
    Rendering time was about 5hours 20minutes.

HARDWARE USED: 
    IBM ThinkPad 380ED (Pentium 166MMX), IBM PC (Pentium 166)

ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 
    My animation show a ship crossing against the wind from
one island to another somewhere in Pacific.

VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: 
    For best viewing results i suggest Vmpeg, 20frames/sec,
please, turn contrast on your monitor litlle bit higher,
 i have problem with gamma correction on my old monitor.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: All files are hand coded. No
postprocessing was used in the animation
(the poster was postprocesed).First, i have worked on motion of the ship only
with geometric models. After the motion was finished, 
i have constructed the sail (this was the horrible part of creating this
animation because the sail is coded also per hand). 
and added to the ship. Last time was created water, sky and island. Island was
created with suggestions taken
from DPM (Deutsches Pov Magazine). The animation have 8 parts, in every stage
runs the clock from 0 to 1.  This file is my third 
animation(first was a rotating ball and second rotating company logo) may be, i
have written the files too complicated. 
All comments are wellcome.
