IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
Description:

A lonely robotic explorer charts a course through the heavens.  



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

This image is actually a still shot from an animation sequence I rendered in
320x240 for a client.  Loosely based on the Magellan and Voyager Space probes,
the attached scene file contains all the meshes and custom textures needed to
recreate a Jupiter flyby (complete with a realistic  ring system).  I created
the probe, ice rings, and planet meshes entirely in 3D Studio and rendered the
entire scene in one pass.  I hope you enjoy it!!
