This looks a lot like Sorayama Hajime's art. Or vice versa.

Their idea wasn't original either if iou'v seen 'Aliens' and other
sci-fi movies, floow pipes are a well-exploited theme.

The ones which I have already added. No refunds.

Oh! One of *those*. Now I know what they're called.
>Have you checked?
See, the problem is that with the mess of pipes underneath, you wouldn't see
the eyes. Perhaps in an alternate version.

Ummm... it just kinda happened. I didn't plan for it to be so high. I've
been thinking of what to put up there, and I think I now know. I'll start
working on the door right now.

I'm thinking of giving this place a texture that indicates that it has been
abandoned for hundreds, maybe thousands of years (like in Xenogears). What
does a fire extinguisher look like after all that time? Oh, and do you have
a site I can get pictures of these "gauges" and "control valves" from?

This would look great with some Quakish textures. Definitely looks like
something from a computer game.

Valves are easy -
#declare Valve =
union {
sphere { 0, 1}
cylinder { x*-2,x*2,.5}
cylinder { y*1,y*1.5,.1}
cylinder { y*1.5,y*1.6,.75}
cylinder { x*-2,x*-2.1,.70}
cylinder { x* 2,x* 2.1,.70}
pigment { rgb 1}
}
object{Valve}
Supply your own detail as needed. Guages are typicaly just a small diameter
pipe coming up with a cylindrical shaped gauge mounted on top to measure fluid
pressures. I am sure you have seen them before.

I don't think anyone can give you a definite answer on this, since I really
doubt that fire extinguishers (as we know them) were around thousands of
years ago. :-)

television can survive and be operational well after 4,000 years (game is
based in the year 6,000).
