IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

First of all, a very happy new year 2000 to all Ray Tracers ! 

Mister Triangle hardly hangs on a wild buttlerfly, wich flies above a field
of strange geometrical flowers.
This is a tribute to a famous combinatory problem from the Sauvy's: 
count how many hexagon flowers with red center you can build with the
Trioker pieces.
The butterfly is another hexiamond shape, and suggest a similar 
problem : number how many butterfly you can make using the 333. 

The whole scene can also be seen in a political way : "the hexagon" is
a common french expression for "France", while "the butterfly" is another
term for the french island "Guadeloupe"...

More details at my webpage ( address above ).



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Sorry to say, the toughest part of the job is due to other guys :
I designed Mister triangle with Moray
The butterfly is from Micha Riser. I just put three red points on the wings
to figure the digit 3, and changed the pigment of the butterfly's body.
The grass have been created by a powerful algorithm from Mister Gordon.

Much thanks to both of you , 
And again, all the best for new year 2000 !
