Description


The vegetable kingdom in Mars, instead of having green
for a dominant colour, is of a vivid blood-red tint. At any rate, the
seeds which the Martians (intentionally or accidentally) brought with
them gave rise in all cases to red-coloured growths. Only that known
popularly as the red weed, however, gained any footing in competition
with terrestrial forms. The red creeper was quite a transitory
growth, and few people have seen it growing. For a time, however, the
red weed grew with astonishing vigour and luxuriance.

- "They've built a flying-machine, and are learning to fly!
- "Fly?"
- "Yes," he said, "fly."
I went on into a little bower, and sat down.
- "It is all over with humanity," I said. "If they can do that they
will simply go round the world."
He nodded.

H.G. Wells


In 1898 when H.G. Wells wrote "The War of the Worlds", flying a machine heavier than air seems to be a fancy - just a couple years later humans discovered the secret of flight, and half century later possessed weapons much more powerful than Martian Heat-Ray. Once again reality overtook the fiction

Set and rendered with Vue 5 using radiosity, Martian vegetation created with Vue 4.5 Pro, Vue procedural clouds and spherical fuzzy clouds.

Stairs modelled in Cinema 4D
Lighthouse model by Alian Garcia, textured by me.
Man - Don from Poser
Martian flying machines based on Martian War Machines from DAZ.
