IMAGE DESCRIPTION: In the far future, humans have settled the moons of Jupiter. On the moon of Europa, the citizens have demanded "green space" to remind them of home. Take a look around the new "green" dome with a wonderful view of Jupiter. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I started this scene in the hopes of doing an outdoor scene. I was almost done, but there was something missing. When I saw that this round's topic was future, a light bulb went off. How cool would it be to have my forest scene on a moon of Jupiter. There are two image maps in this scene. Jupiter is an image map downloaded from NASA. The star field is an image map made with Paintshop Pro. Due to the way that I create things in POVRay, my scene source is spread over 20 different files. In order to cut down on confusion, I am not including my source. Also, the Trees where made with POVTree mesh exports (30MB or more each).
