Some info about the creative process:

The code is based on a technique I used in a really big
scene file I wrote a long time ago. I crunched this down
as small as I could and this created version 1 of this
image.

The original version had no reflections, and relied on
radiosity to add interest to the buildings. This version
was very nice, but it looked a little too simple
(although ironically radiosity is much more complex than
reflections!).

I optimised the code, throwing out anything that I
thought wasn't vital, and used the remaining space to
experiment with different ideas. I kept tweaking and
crunching and experimenting until I got to version 7,
which is what you see here.

All 7 versions (well, actually 8!) of this scene are
provided in the long source file. Along with notes about
the various things I tried.

My one regret is that v6 of the image left room for a
little more detail, and I wanted to put in a distant
flock of birds. But despite much effort I couldn't find
any way to make something that looked like birds with
what little code space I had left, so I settled for the
distant hill.

Still, I'm very pleased with the results, I hope you
like it!
