Clever idea, but I wonder about the logic.  If you are already simulating the
cue, why
not simulate the whole thing as a holo?  Why any physical balls to take up
valuable
cubic and mass allowance?  Very nice earth model.  I like the little sting at
the end.
Credits detract.  You don't really sell the game.  By this I mean that it is
hard to
realize that a game is being played between the astronaut and the HAL-eye
computer.
Need more establishing material with the astronaut lining up a shot, perhaps
looking
down his virtual cue stick.  Good use of a Hero person.  The space station is
plausible,
if a little small compared to the shuttle.

From djconnel@flash.net:
Original idea!!!

The opening, with its transition from 2d->3d, is very nicely done!!
Then the camera flight into the station is very nice!  And the modeling
of the 3-d ball kinetics is quite nicely done as well.

Additionally, the concept is really neat.  But there are a few areas where it
could
use a little improvement.

It's not really standalone.... it requires the text file to really tell what
is happening.  I'd try and slow down the action a bit.  The computer
screen, for example, should be visible for longer.  Pause a bit between
shots...
it becomes a bit frenetic.  I realize there are serious bandwidth limitations,
but even if you had to leave out one or more of the shots, it might have
been a better "story" if the viewer could follow what was happening
better.

Still, it is quite a solid piece of work.  I liked it a lot!

I love the ending!
I like the concept, but the lighting looks a bit ... dull.
Maybe some more details on the walls would have been nice.

An impressive amount of different detail. Moves a bit fast to catch the story
line.
Not much moves around here, just loose objects rotating and translating.

From PovRayGuy@aol.com:
Good ball movement.

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
I like the concept of the 3d pool. A lot could be gained by better
lighting/texturing I think. Some of it realy appeared to fast to me.
Too many leap changes of camera position mixed me up, smoother and far
between transitions would be welcome.

From bill@apocalypse.org:
Neat idea.  The animation seems to run too fast at times though - would a 
larger file size have helped?

From r@pa-ppp31.hevanet.com:
The backround story that went into producing this piece is impressive.
Notable for composition

From r@proxy.cowan.edu.au:
Very original idea. It is a tad fast for viewing, but camera movement was
excellent. Once again A+ for originality
Notable for originality, modelling

Many of the shots were too short to make sense of.

From r@proxy.mch.sni.de:
There was once a game on the amiga called 3D-Pool, that looked exactly like your
anim. The Camera change were too fast to make any sense. It's better to have a
nearly still camera than < half a second long cuts. (see Rusty Is Late for what
I mean)

Ugly! But the idea is nice.
