IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


School. It's a whole separate world, once you enter. Here, mini-societies
form (aka cliques, circles, and classes), and when school ends, everyone
returns to their separate worlds (aka homes and families). Here, in this
Japanese high school, at the end of the day, two students make their ways
back home. Tomorrow morning, those circles of friends and classes and
cliques will come back together.

I originally intended to include more people in the scene, but ultimately
time and render speed became very limiting factors, after my real-world
business was taken care of. For that matter, the school uniforms were
rushed. Oh yeah, I almost forgot; the spheres that compose the human
models' joints do not react to light the same way as the bezier patches.
Didn't have time to fix those either.

Strangely there are some anomalous red pixels in the image. They are not
part of the scene, and I suspect they are artifacts produced by the P3
optimized POV-Ray. Alas, I am pressed for time and cannot re-render it
on the official build. :( I hope you won't hold those against me.

Yay anime! :P
