IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


The fountain of youth. It makes you young again.... very young. Trapping you
there as you lose everything. Age, knowledge, experience. And gain youth,
innocence, naivety.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


Every tile on the pool is an individual superquadtratic. I wrote a simple macro
to place them.

The babies are poser models I'd purchased from Zygote.

The columns are created using my column plugin that I've re-written as a POV 3.1
macro.

What I'm most pleased with is the use of custom bounding boxes. Thanks to the
IRTC mailing list for the idea !!

Apart from that the technical stuff is pretty well the same as all my other
images where I've used Poser. 

I've left out the mesh files but I'll email them to anyone who would like to
render the image for themselves. Just make sure you can receive BIG email
files.
