JPGFILE: colony.jpg
RENDERER USED: 
    the final rendering has been done in Lightwave 5.0

TOOLS : I have used Photoshop for the textures and image-maps
all the modelisation came from Lightwave's modeler
 
RENDERED TIME : about 15 minutes


IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    we are deep under the ocean, and some humans have choosed to
live under the ocean, 
the egg-style of the colony is explainable by the fact that there's a lot of
pressure and allow 
the structure to fight those high pressures
a little sub is in its final arrival to the colony, probably coming from
surface, so the colony
gets its approach-lights on
as we are in the great deeps, the view is blurred by the water and the
particules in suspension


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

i first have modelized the ground, and the main station, then worked on the
image-maps i need
when everything were in place it has been the work around the view angle,
lights, bump maps etc ...
it took about 4-5 days before calculating the firsts finals renderings
