IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Simply two representations of the Surface of Boy. 
This surface was created by Mr Boy in 1901. Imagine you paste the border
of a disc on the border of a ruban of Moebius : you have the surface of Boy.
The analytic definition of this surface was found in 1980. It can be seen as
a set of ellipses. The surface has one pole and its courbure is null.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I used MORAY2.5 only to place the objects and have textures.
The ability to make some programmation is the wonderfull thing I extensivly
used.
I'm aware of the lack of composition of this image, but i'm just decovered this
competition last month.
Finally, I'm VERY, VERY sorry for my poor english...
