IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The image shows a girl lying on a hospital bed, obviously sick and unhappy, And
she's floating in a very happy colourful surrounding with grass, flowers and a
bright blue sky. This surrounding is her imagination, her way of dealing with
the unhappiness of the hospital she's in.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The bed and the girl are all basic shapes. Circles, cylinders, cubes, etc.
The bed is reflecting a hospital room. This room is rendered in such a way that
it can only be seen in a reflection.
The surrounding hills with grass and flowers is all one big hypertexture. There
are some errors visible in it because I didn't have enough time for the final
render. The red flowers are cut in half and some of the grassblades are melted
together because the hypertexture rendering stepsize was still too large. Also
there's a weird cutout on the hill because of an octree algorithm that went a
bit wrong. That's the risk of writing your own renderer =)
