IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    Although there were some discussion about magic as advanced
technology
in the beginning if this round, this is supposed to be a real science fiction
wizard jumping 
back in time, riding some sort of hover bike.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    Most of the bike and the wizard (and
a little
bit of the grass) is modelled with Moray, and the rest is written by hand. The
vehicle
and the wizard are primarily made out of bezier patches.
 The grass mainly consists of lots and lots of cones, plus a few other straws
made with bezier 
patches. The scene has more than 33000 objects, and therefore I had to render it
under Windows
because I didn't have time to find out how to make my memory suffice under DOS.
 As always, time was a big problem when creating this image. First I went abroad
on vacation
for a week, and recently I have been moving away from my old home town and
started studying at
a university, and naturally that have taken quite some time, too.
 That is why the image is so small, why there still are quite a few things I
would like to
fix, and why I'm writing this at 5.20 in the morning on September 1st...
 That time travel spell could come in quite handy some times...
