IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

A dreamy world of chess and Spanish galleons.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The galleon and the chess pieces are DXF's that I've had floating around on my
hard drive for a couple years.  I originally downloaded them from AOL.  I can't
remember who made them  :-(

The mountains in the background are just basic Bryce terrains.

The checkerboard floor is a basic checkerboard, that was changed to make the
squares bigger.  The checkerboard on the ceiling was originally the sambe basic
texture as the floor, but I changed it to have a negative refraction index, and
to turn the black squares transparent.  There is a basic sky above that.

The lake/sea was created by turning a Bryce mountain upside down, turning it
into a negative boolean, and than grouping it with the floor.  A 2D disk with
my water texture was then placed at ground level and sized to cover the entire
depression created by the boolean.
