I was flicking through a Far Side collection (Last Chapter and Worse, for 
those who care) when I came across two cartoons which caught my mind.  
One was the Three Eyed variant of the Christian INRI fish logo, and the 
other was the Zorbonian thing, only the original read 'Ray guns don't 
kill Zorbonians, Zorbonians kill Zorbonians.'

Now that that explanation's out of the way, I might as well say that the 
project/doodle was started in Moray 3.2, and finished off in 3.3beta.  
The background is courtesy of Keith Hull's Plugin using Chris Colefax's 
galaxy plugin.

And this is by no way meant to be as finished as, say, one of Mr Day's 
spacecraft :)

Bye for now,

I love it!. Bumper stickers on flying saucers!. But wait! What is this?
Traffic signals in space?! It's getting too crowded around here. I think
I'll move to another gallaxy.

I like the lights.  Someone was talking about a quilted texture for
lights, but I had problems imagining what he meant.  Good idea indeed.

There seems to be something wrong with the shadow of the right fin.  How
can it cast such a dark shadow on the left while its left side is fully
illuminated?

Nice pic anyway.

I stole the idea from Jay Raney's Aqua Pod :)

I don't know, but there are several point lights scattered around, so it 
could be an artifact of them.  If you want the Moray 3.3 mdl source, then 
I'll post it to moray.binaries, but I'll have to tidy it up a bit first.

Thanks.

Sometimes the only way to exorcise an idea from my head is to do a 
version of it, regardless of how crappy it may end up <grin>

Oh, and nobody seems to have spotted the deliberate (yeah, right) mistake 
in the bumper sticker...  'Cos I haven't the faintest idea what a Quantum 
Qestabilisation cannon is <grin>

Bye for now,
