IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

	  This image should have symbolised the creation of
	something that doesn't exist. True, this not
	an evidence, and True, the result really doesn't
	look like the image I've imagined... Perhaps
	one day, in tu futur, I'll be abble to render it.

	  But, if the image is not what I was expecting, 
	it's a nice one. And, I think, it's always deals
	with magic... All the objects, flying above the
	light are the result of a spell, and perharps
	their will become more than little piece of
	gold...


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

	  The recipient is made with a function that
	fill a box expect the part that is included
	by a parabolic volume ( dont' know the real
	name ). This function has been clipped in
	a sphere...
	
	  All the others objects are made with a
	"Bump sphere" function that made the
	ray of the sphere dependant of the angle.
	This function can create lot of different
	objects. Great...

	  The sea, is not a simple plane with a 
	bumps map on it. This is an another function
	that returns a box. The above face of this box
	is REALLY bumped. The result of this operation
	a the deformation of the shadow and realistic
	intersection with other objects. It's not really
	visible of this image, but the important is that
	I know it, isn't it ? :o)
