IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

As the Easter long weekend draws to a close, the picture of the school I must
return to comes to mind. It draws you in, it's tenticals un-escapable. Closer
you come until you are once again traped in the dark dungon that is the
classroom.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

A famous phrase that keeps comming up is that your school years are the best
years of your life. Well, wether or not this is true(as I don't know yet) is
beside the point. This scene is how I, and a lot of other students, view
school.
It came out of a discussion I was having with my 11 year old brother. We were
dreading going back to school, and my father prompted me to draw my mental
image of my school. So here it is.

The scene its self is very simple, consisting of only primitives and a few
CSG operations. Probably the most complicated thing in the scene is the stone
texture I made for the school and the recursive loop to place the Energy Globs
that come out of the Vortex.
