IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
This image show two HI viruses, one of them docking on a T helper cell.
When i read the topic, i thougt this might be the right picture. The reason is simple.
The scientific community knows how it works for such along time, in fact they found that out
pretty early, because it's a simple mechanism.Nevertheless, healing AIDS is at this point impossible,
it's just too complicated.So you have the two sides of the medal,i.e. a very simple mechanism which is
extremely hard to stop or heal.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

First i made the virus himself.The biggest part consist of Lathe-Nurb-Object.
The body of the virus is a simple sphere, where i used the bevel function to create
a rough surface. 
The T helper cell was another, bigger spehre, which i just deformated with the magnet function, until
it somehow looked the way i wanted it.
For the coloring i did not use regular textures, but three different shaders with this unique 
electronic microscope look.
Th balc and yellow backround is neither a texture nor a shader.I made this by using a lightsource.
This lightsource was modified in color and appearance until i got this moving particle effect.
