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

growth, and few people have seen it growing. For a time, however, the
red weed grew with astonishing vigour and luxuriance.

- "Yes," he said, "fly."

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.

Wonderful atmosphere and lighting. Those flying machines look great and the effects you done on them are superb. I like that red grass. Now, it really looks like the martians are taking the Earth. I like that man on the bottom left. Looks like he doesn't care about martians anymore. Excellent and vote!
