IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


Long ago two men were bitter enemies.  In time one was victor and of the other a
cup was made to celibrate the victory.  But the story ends not there, for the
victor was soon hanged, and the cup went to another... who died by poison. 
Over time the cup was lost, but now two treasure hunters have discovered the
find of a lifetime.  Too bad that their lives will end before they reach the
surface.  But fear not for justice lost, for the victims pictured here number
five!


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


This is the first image that I have come up with that I like enough to enter. 
It is not finished, but they never are.  I have included all files, except the
skull mesh in the zip file.  At 12Meg the skull is just too big to include,
even in zip format.

The skull is a 3DS model I downloaded and used 3DWin to convert into a POV
formatted mesh.  The cup and lid are standard CGS, while the base is made with
sPatch.  I also made the scuba mask, tanks, and fins with sPatch.  The divers
were created with BlobMan.

I lost interest in the image and I think it shows mainly in what's missing.  The
spear and spearguns are just cylinders, without details.  Missing are weight
belts and other scuba related gear, also fish and other sealife.  And of
seawater we shall not speak...  Nuff said.  I hope you enjoy my little bit of
mayham.
