A re-creation of part of the opening "Mars Attacks!" scene... I still need
to work on varying the rotational speed of the UFO's and jittering their
positions. Also, there is at least one shadow that suddenly disappears
because after each UFO reaches a certain point, it gets moved back to the
bottom of the screen to start over. Changing the location of the light
source to a shallower angle should correct this. Comments?

Wow, looks pretty good!
How did you do the metal textures?

It's a seamless image map (without a bump map, unfortunately) that I found
somewhere on the internetwork. I do recall that it was a free sample from a
collection of metal textures that you could purchase.
I used this finish:
------------------------------------------------
#declare UFOFinish = finish {
ambient 0
specular .4
roughness .03
diffuse .8
brilliance 1.7
metallic
reflection .06
irid {.1 thickness .5 turbulence 1}
}
texture {uv_mapping pigment {image_map {png "Metal01.png" interpolate 2}
scale .5} finish {UFOFinish}}
------------------------------------------------
I don't recall where I got the image map, but I'll be glad to e-mail it to
you!
