scene from "the Technology of Universities"
  Copyright (C) Iain D. Sinclair 
  1991

A series of input files that recreates a surreal kitchen in the
middle of nowhere, in the dead of night. This took about a month to
hack up from scratch. It appears on the cover of PLEXUS magazine.
Nothing impressive, but (for me) a useful exercise in computer
illustration.

Possible problems: all the image files are .mtv, and may have to be
converted if you've compiled RayShade with URT. Some objects very probably
won't work in CSG operations. There are 'visual errors' in tou.ray
(eg. the cigarette is hovering above the ashtray).  The input
files are in the format of the July '91 RayShade 4.0 release; input
files for RayShade 4.0 beta are provided in the beta directory.

All the input files may be used freely; it'd be nice if their origin
was acknowledged, though. (Let me know if you use the input files,
or you like the scene, or you detest it.)
