IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

         A frog sitting on a lilypad, surounded by landscape, 
         water and vegetation. 



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

         All the objects were created in Moray, because it's
         much easier to see how a final image will look.
         Moray has also a good texture-editor.
         First I made a .TGA file for the heightfield in PaintshopPro.
         This was converted to a heightfield in Moray. and then scaled
         and textured.
         Then the water was made, by adding waves to a plane.
         All the trees, flowers were made in seperate files and later
         added to the main-scene. Most objects are made of Bezier-curves.
         The POV-ray code was generated by Moray.
         Finally the scene was renderd in Povray.
