(It's probably rather anachronic, but we don't really care, do we?) DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I started modelling the horn and the decanter on a simple table, but then I thought it looked a bit dull, so I created the sea and the ship in the background. Then I thought that was ugly, so I countinued with the first scene, which then rendered the file HORNTABL.JPG. Then I changed my mind again and decided to compete with both of the scenes - with and without the background. I'll let you decide which one is the better. Most of the scene is made with Moray. The horn, the hill in the back- ground and the fringes are bezier patches, and the decanter is a rot sweep. After I exported the scene from Moray I exchanged the original boxes which made up the table with superellipsoids.
