Hi,

this might be something for the LOTW-experts here.
The aim of the contest is to make an image that shows what you think 
Titan looks like when the Huygens probe descends into Titans 
atmosphere. The Grand Prize is a trip to the ESOC in Darmstadt/Germany 
from 13-15 January 2005 (including travel expenses, food, and 
lodging). Deadline is November 28.
More info/rules can be found here:

I am not going to enter, no time, as usual. I do not know if there is
a Huygens probe available in 3D format. If not this could be  one of
those cases where some collaboration could be handy. The competition
is not about how the lander looks (we all know that) but how the
moon looks. Adding a lander would be a bonus, but if everybody
starts making one a lot of time will be wasted. It is a pity
they explicitly prohibit group projects. Still, if a group all
create part (and/or texture) of the lander and everybody uses it in
their own scene they would all benefit.

I can imagine it now, from a camera on the space probe as it breaks through
thick cloud: Hoards of terrified inhabitants scattering in all directions as
an incandescent fireball streaks towards a capital city that is the envy of
the other cultures on their world....

... or maybe I've been watching too much sci-fi.

My guess is that that is not the type of image they are after. ;)

I'm obviously being stoopid, but what's this? Lord of the Wings?

(as in "fwee Wodger").

 From a camera on the space probe as it breaks through thick cloud: an 
endless checkered plane with reflective spheres hovering over it.
