It draws you in, it's tenticals un-escapable. Closer you come until you are once again traped in the dark dungon that is the classroom. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: A famous phrase that keeps comming up is that your school years are the best years of your life. Well, wether or not this is true(as I don't know yet) is beside the point. This scene is how I, and a lot of other students, view school. It came out of a discussion I was having with my 11 year old brother. We were dreading going back to school, and my father prompted me to draw my mental image of my school. So here it is. The scene its self is very simple, consisting of only primitives and a few CSG operations. Probably the most complicated thing in the scene is the stone texture I made for the school and the recursive loop to place the Energy Globs that come out of the Vortex.
