Yep, that one was a detail from the original picture. In fact the demo
reuses most of the elements of this one, with a different camera and less
objects (and no 3rd party ones of course).

Actually the flying things have a no_shadow to avoid artefacts. Also, in
tests I did last year with this series of images, some media effects did
cause a lot of trouble in some cases. Getting the effect right took indeed a
lot of time, and the current setup has its own limitations... but it works

Oh well where I live we have also futuristic vehicles and decrepit
buildings, and the original pic has a Mini Cooper ;-)
If you look at the code you'll see that the cars and buildings have a number
(3, 4 etc.) which simply mirrors my learning of Wings3d in the course of a
few weeks last summer. The last models are more "imaginative" and complex
than the first ones. In fact, the first models are only good as fillers and
background elements.
