Artist's Comments
44112 points, 59526 polygons, 18 objects, 40 surfaces and 15 lights.

"Moon Colony" was made in Lightwave 3D 5.0 rev K. All the objects (except the palmtrees inside the glassdomes) are standard primitives and made by me (the landscape is a modified model from the net). The landscape has a bumpmap with a little crumple to simulate the effect that the flat parts of the rocky landscape are ploughed to be suitable for living. All the "yellowish" metalsurfaces uses the same texture, the houses uses the same "skyscraper-window-texture" and the rest has some fractal noise.

The scene has 15 lights and 3 of them lights up the scene. It took 20 minutes to render it in 800x600 (with Enhanced High Antialias) on my DEC Alpha 21064 275 Mhz, 64 Mb RAM. I then saved it in PhotoShop to get a good JPEG-format. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed making it.
