IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

This image made me realize that POVray is every bit as powerful as high-end,
high-cost 
3D packages, such as 3D Studio MAX or Strata Studio Pro Blitz.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I created this image while playing with blobs.  Moray doesn't allow creation of
blobs, but it 
is nice for placement of objects.  I created a hand in Moray out of cylinders
and spheres, then 
turned them into blob components by hand.  Everything else I did by hand in the
POVray for 
Windows editor (very nice and easy to use, I might add).  I had to do hundreds
of test renders 
to tweak the blobs (because I had never used them before), but I am pleased with
the results.
