===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Concept is too much an inside joke. ===== From agage@mines.edu: Another bizarre entry... The effect of the black whole (the two divergent spiral patterns) is neat. However, though they may be in reality, the black hole seems too spherical :) ===== From Martin.Magnusson.7121@student.uu.se: That purple galaxy is very beautiful, and it's a pretty weird concept - that's always positive. I like the text that comes scrolling. The black hole doesn't look very realistic, though. Not that I know what a black hole would look like, and I don't have any good ideas to make it better either... ===== From quinet@gamers.org: Fun. I laughed when I watched the animation for the first time. Some suggestions: - At the end of the second part (star + black hole), zoom quickly towards the black hole so that the viewer expects that the next part will show a closer view of the black hole. - In the third part, add the same background as in the second part. - In the third and last parts, add some random glowing halos around the spiral. That's all I could think of. Good work! ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: Well, I think I understand the animation better after reading the txt file - but, boy, what odd subject matter. ===== From kentdj@revealed.net: The rotation of the dump truck seems a little odd - like it's rotating around somewhere other than its center of gravity. ===== From arcana@sinbad.net: Intriguing concept. We done. :{) ===== From r@159.134.245.19: Its anybody's right not to like dump trucks, but I would rather have stayed polite. There are nice ideas involved in that animation but it does not seem consistent all the way through : smoother transitions from one scene to the other may look better. ===== From r@dial-up40.webbernet.net: One of the better stories this round. The dumptruck is well modeled and has the right amount of detail for a toy. Oddly for raytracing, it needs to look *more* plastic! The doomed star and accretion disk are very well done. I would, however, like to see some animation in the streamer and the star. The text in the image is clever. It may be more distracting than useful. I haven't made up my mind about that, to tell the truth. Nice complicated rotary motions overall. Well done animation. This comment by clem@dhol.com.
