This image is a demonstration of the "Space" category of textures in
Essence Volume II, a library of algorithmic textures for Imagine.
Each letter has different Space texture(s) on it, showing the variety
of effects that can be produced.

The textures used on the letters are Plasma, Radial Machinery,
CylindHullplate, LatLonLones, Cyclone, Hullplate, Machinery, and
Planetrings.

The background is a single, large, flat plane with the Burnish texture
applied to it.

This image took 1 hour, 41 minutes to raytrace on a 25Mhz A3000 with a

Essence II is a commercial product from Apex Software Publishing.  For
