IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


The war between the mouse-race and the cats lasts a very long
time. At the current moment, the mouses are united and prepared
to commence the final attack. They are ready to fire.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


I concentrated on the lighting and the atmosphere. It has been
a long-lasting process, but now I am quite satisfied, especially
with the shadow of the cat on the wall and on the mouses.

 * the cat has been made in the sPatch (just a 2d...)
 * the flag also in sPatch (4x4 patches)
 * a mouse is a composition of a few blobs
 * the ball in the catapult is a isosurface with spikes placed
   on its surface
 * the layout of the mouses on the table is made by my customized
   functionality of the POV scene description language.
 * the cacao spot is a blob
 * the equipment for the mouses (guns and forks) are simple CSG
   objects
 * the picture on the wall comes from my sister's holiday in Crete

I am really proud, that this picture does not use any byte
downloaded; Well the table-texture could be better, but I wanted
something without any contrast to show the shadow... Anyway, I
appreciate any comments.

Btw. did you notice the mouse hole under the table?
