Recognize the background? It's the same Milky Way image used in the Mars composite. It think it works quite well in this image also. Click HERE if you would like to see a breakdown of how this image was created. It uses five elements (three for the planet, one for the rings, and one for the background) and took 20 hours to render on a PowerMac 8100/80 with 100MB of RAM. I once heard that Eric Wenger created the Bryce program to give his computer something to do when he went on vacation. Now I understand what he meant.
