seeds which the Martians (intentionally or accidentally) brought with
them gave rise in all cases to red-coloured growths. Only that known

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
