I came up with the idea on the 12th, since I had been too much in shock on
the 11th to do anything myself. I started tweaking Gilles' grass macro late
on the night of the 12th, and then really got into this on the 13th. I meant
to have it ready yesterday, but the grass just kept coming out all wrong. I
still don't much like it. It looks unnatural, as you can see the rows in the
distance. I also made a bit of a mistake with the Star of David, not cutting
out the triangle properly from the stone pillar. At any rate, I hope the
image conveys the feeling of infinity and sorrow I intended. This isn't just
about those killed in the attacks on the 11th, but about us, as a world
under seige by terrorism, that has lost so many of its children to these
terrorist monsters. The render features crosses, stars of David, markings
for people of unknown faiths or who chose not to have any, and yes, a few
crescent moons, not for those who flew the planes, but for any good and
innocent Muslims that died in this or any other attack. Thank you. Any good
criticism on this image will be implemented in the final version, which I
will render at 1600x800 or bigger, for printing.
