===== Pretty good, given what you had to work with. It's a pretty picture...but the background is a little too bright. ===== Well, can't compare to some others but it's a pretty good job for a small computer ===== The scene looks very "hot." With various parts of the picture blurred, it looks as if heat waves are passing over the landscape. It, too, looks very alien. ===== nice image, dr. moire. ===== I'm really impressed with your story. Please continue to enter the competition. Don't try to use too many colors. it distracts from the image. The background is a little too bright. If you want an image with a solar flare or something, try making the textures white, like those videos of an atomic blast. all colors go greyscale. But I do like your spirit. Next month is flight. try using a single big light source and it should cut your rendering time (flight might only need the sun). This looks very promising... ===== I'm impressed that you have that much patience... One thing that I do all of the time is use numbers like 1.00000001 so that I don't have things in _exactly_ the same place. At those tolerances, you can't tell that there is a difference. ===== Image is co chaotic for me to understand ===== ... I remember raytracing on a 386. you have my sympathy. ===== Interesting looking objects in the foreground - what are they? The background black/orange/yellow/white sky is really terrible... The ground could use some work too. ===== Very impressive for the hardware u used. (I was using a 386-33 until last year so I understand.) ===== One of the most beautiful images so far. Someone give the guy a powerMac! Reminds me of fractint on my old 286 8MHz! Took a week to render a 3-D landscape and then a rock appeared just in front of the camera! ===== Sugestion, get out of mac and get an IBM. The background needs work, but maby those time consuming objects added somthing. We will never know. ===== I have to salute your persistence, rendering with a '030 (and NO FPU!!!!!) ===== Admirable use of an old machine :-) ===== One of the best !!!! ===== I think the background could use some work. ===== That background is REALLY hard to look at. The artifacts on the ground are a result of the scale of the texture (probably) You maybe can fix that by scaling ONLY the texture (not the ground object). ===== Cool image, except for that horrid "sky". Excellent modelling on the ground, but I had a hard time making sense of the image as a whole.
