===== WOW! Even assuming you made extensice use of #while and maybe #rand and so on, that White House must have taken AGES to assemble. Fantastic image! ===== ... like straight out of the film! ===== The white house and the destructive beam look terrific. ===== Very impressive. Please write me later so I can find out how you did the trees. manorton@tcnet.net ===== Looks nice, but the movie's CGI was better. ===== Very impressive! Especially using *only* Povray 3.0! Well done! ===== cool ===== Very nice interpretation. ===== Spaceship's texture is rather dull compared to the detail in the trees. Aliens' weapon is an interesting effect, but looks too much like a "Koosh". Front of White House seems too dark, or at least too drab. Nice work with the tree generation. ===== Do you truly have POVRay 3.0 code in hand that will cause this to be rendered?!? I hadn't thought this could be reasonably done in POVRay! ===== Some real good work in the modelling of the white house. The trees really add realism to the scene. Quite impressive. ===== Good image, but not very orignal ===== Excellent White house. I love the Windows with the curtains. Nice trees too. The blue beam looks like one of those disneyworld water fountains. ===== I like the explosions. ===== I just love watching the White House blow up (Maybe that's why I like election day so much!) ===== nice emulation. ===== nice job on the whitehouse. ===== very cool ===== Nicely Detailed Whitehouse, However the Ship was a bit bland.. ===== very impressive implementation, great explosion effect, white house is beautiful; space craft could use more detail ===== Well I'm 87 images into the voting and yours is top so far. The only thing is it does look as though the Whitehouse is being filled up with water! but thats a very minor point. excellent, well done. ===== The linking with sci-fi is obvious. You focused on the laser/partical cannon for obvious reasons but it makes I realy like the White House and the trees in the scene for what can be seen of it. If you hadden't said in the text that you modeled them, I would have guessed that it was a moddified gif. Its a pitty that they are in the dark. ===== Nice Laser! ===== Your model of the white house is excellent. The ufo leaves something to be desired and you used the exact composition from the movie. And while this works for a moving work it doesn't work well for stills. ===== Trees and White House are great, the ship is kinda week though. ===== Very impressive image. Especially the effect given by the trees and laser particles. ===== This is the Best Pov-Ray Pic i have ever seen in my life... (14 years of age isn't that bad, Is it? : ) The only part that didn't look quite right was the laser beem, But hey, The rest is sooooo---- Good It's got my top vote.... So far..... (I would like to note, That I have to clue who made this pic) ===== I am possibly biased on the concept vote, as I seem to be the only human in the country who thought Independence Day sucked. ===== Impressive. ===== As an australian, I love seeing the white house blown up :) ===== Nice job ===== Brilliant use of halos Nice trees (recursive #while loop?) ===== Hardly original, just a straight copy. Hovever, the flames look nice and the colours in the windows are quite good. ===== The description gave me the best impressions! KEEP up the good work!!!!!! (if you ever read this!) ===== I had to give a 15 only for concept, originallity and interpretation of theme because of originality. The technique is flawless. ===== Hand coded white house ?!? Wowzers! ===== The art is good, but since it was borrowed from someone else, there's not much the author has to do, but copy it wholesale. I applied the technical though. ===== The White House was very impresive. I think the lighting inside the WH and the lighting of the explosions are the key ingedients to this picutre. I had to give a lower score on the originality score since it has been done before. Keep up the good work. -Mike Riley ===== Nothing but POV-Ray... Impressed. ===== Unbeleivable. I have to get the source for this one :) ===== What can I say. I liked the film. ===== The trees and building are excellent. The detail of the space craft is not as believable as the rest. ===== blah! right out of the movie. :p ===== Very nice laser and dust clouds. The space ship and the white house are not quite as convincing, though. Nevertheless, I like this image a lot. ===== Very Nice! ===== straight from the movie Independence Day. Nice job, but not at all original ===== great trees and i thought that the use of halos was great ===== It was an attempted copy of a scene from a recent sci-fi movie, which I did not find to be an original concept. ===== goog idea but realisation seems a little artificial ===== It is a good image indeed but it is all taken from a movie. ===== The windows are impressive, but the ray is a little dissapointing. ===== Blown away! What detail ===== it wasnt original, but its still an awsome picture ===== Very nice detail on the house, nice smoke effects ===== Very realistic. ===== Very nice. I especally like the way you did your trees and the lighting on the white house. ===== The windows,curtains and lights are VERY nice! White House by hand is a REAL nice technical touch, I'd have killed my score (technical merit) if this had been pre-created! ===== The building is very well done. It almost looks like a photo. Quite realistic. I did not like the "shower of particles" because it looks too "gentle". It would probably look better without the frilly bits. The trees are well done. ===== Impressively Realistic ===== Loved the trees, wide-screen format, overall detail. My top pick! ===== Nice job! ===== Are you certain this isn't a frame grab? ;) I like it! ===== Very nice picture, though the space-ship itself looks somewhat dull. But maybe that is what space-ships look like. I dunno. Never seen one :-) ===== Cool energy beam! The trees are very well done. The white house looks a little too "flat" and gray; perhaps a soft ambient light would do the job? ===== Attention to detail on "Whitehouse" very good, same detail lacking in spaceship. ===== Never saw the movie. Great windows, great smoke. Modelling on the White House is excellent. Beam is only so-so. ===== Beautiful job! Notable for lighting, modelling ===== The White House and trees are awesome, the ship could use a little more detail Notable for lighting
