IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

I created the scene about a week before the tragedy with russian 
submarine "Kursk". After that catastrophe I just changed a bit the 
shape of sub in order to make it similar to "Kursk". Also I decided 
to make it from bubbles in order to depict something like sub's soul 
which consists of souls of mariners.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

All bubble objects are macros. The submarine object was done using
several macros for filling sphere, cylinder and cube. The flames and
clouds are media. The sea is isosurface. Very simple scene but it was
difficult to render this image because it needs a lot of CPU time. I 
was afraid that I'll not be in time for this round. Paul Bourke kindly 
agreed to help me to render my scane. He has access to incredible 
CPU resources at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia. Paul 
rendered the final image w/o anti-aliasing.
