===== An absolutely beautiful starfield, and an even more magnificent texture map for the planet. ===== Well ... ===== Great use of color. ===== This was actually a pretty moving picture. If more of the work was original, I would have scored it much higher. ===== Reminds me of the opening titles of War of the Worlds, the Series ===== lack of pride you must have. Half the fun is modelling. ===== Reminds me of a scene from an old Star Trek ===== The result here is fairly nice looking, but the description suggests it didn't take much work to accomplish. Very little original work. Why are the objects in the scene casting shadows on the starfield? This shouldn't happen. ===== Nice idea, but needs work on the artistic side. And it looks like the earth is casting a shadow on the starry backdrop... ===== The hand would possibly look better if smoothed. The skull?? bit cliched for me. ===== dramatic effect is very good. Choice of the green could have been better. ===== I always did like the Jade texture! ===== More texture. Bone white for the hands or somthing. ===== A Raytracer AND a Simpsons fan?! Who'd a thunk it! ;) ===== evil green overlords have doublejointed thumbs? :) ===== Excellent concept for the theme. The accompanying text file was excellent as well. ===== very original and well realised and fun ===== The end result looks great and I was *wowed* by this scene. The concept and overall artistry is top-notch. The technicalities contain weaknesses though. The image is simple, overly simple. The earth looks like a blob... not well defined and lacking in detail. The real problem is that it looks detailed at first glance but really has no details at all. Its far too "swirly." ===== I like the concept and the creative use of images, but the shapes were aparently defined by someone else, and the texture was too. ===== Nuce texture, good placement of shadow ===== Shadows are a little off... otherwise a good idea. ===== I *know* I've seen this one somewhere before. ===== Weird interpretation ===== "She'll need socks, too. I'll get socks." ===== Wow I like the theme of this one a ton!!! The modeling of the hand needs some work. You can definatly see the pologons that make up the hand, Also I would maybe make the Skull a little larger it seems to be off scale with the hand. I think the starfield is a little lacking also, its nice but could be better. ===== Kudos for originality, but IMNSHO not SciFi. Horror maybe. Though the petri dish concept is OK. Wish the shadows were not there on the star field. Big minuses from me technically for all previously found models/images. ===== Right chiose of model can effect a lot to the output of this picture. Although it could be better, but I am sure author did a good job on this one. Too many models were created by anonymous on internet, this could be involved with copywrite issule of using other's models. ===== Low marks for technical merit due to "re-used" non-original models. ===== Moody image, but was a bit cookie-cutter. High marks for concept.
