===== From chipr@niestu.com: Very good for a TrueSpace image. ===== From sroberts@learn.senecac.on.ca: A very lovely image. I liked the chandelier, and attention to detail in things such as your flooring, the chair rail, the graceful shape of the chairs. The rose is spectacular! I did find the reflections off of the glass backing of the china cabinet a bit distracting; it's also too bad that the glasses on the top shelf are so tall that we really only see their gold rims in this same reflection. ===== From jay@map.com: I like the chandelier. Too bad the targa to jpeg conversion removed the detail from the flower. ===== From cgallego@nordnet.fr: Nice work, i thought to model a chandelier also, but i did not had the time ;^) http://home.nordnet.fr/~cgallego ===== From richmiller@hotmail.com: I liked this picture a lot, but for some reason there wasn't enough drama for me; maybe more mood lighting? :) ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: Excellent use of color, lighting, camera angle - great composition. The wedding photo on the wall somehow doesn't fit though - it stands out as looking strange. Just MHO. ===== From klynn@minn.net: Very nice. Good photorealism. hint --the fork goes on the left ;-) ===== From jjanger@mail.cspp.edu: Such attention to detail. The chandelier alone would have been most people's submissions. I personally would have liked to have read more about how you did it, but I'll have to settle for appreciating it. ===== From 93semeno@scar.utoronto.ca: One of the most breathtaking images in the IRTC. The detail and the realism are amazing. Impressive. ===== From tiger@mgl.ca: I didn't think Truespace2 was that capable.. :) This image has a rather nice soft feel to it. The only thing I'd point out is the colour of the flames on the candles.. but I know how hard it is to get them right, there's one in my image. ;) ===== From mickmcm@indigo.ie: Nice chandelier... crystals are very convincing. ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: I like this one. The perspective throws me a bit, but it's an extremely well done scene. ===== From danclegg@uniserve.com: Cool. ===== From Matthew_L_Ziegler@hill-top.com: I liked the use of the flower, and did not see where it would have lost much in the conversion. Many of the features were very "hard". meaning the edges were too refined. A very nice image though. I liked it. ===== From schmij3@rpi.edu: I love the flower, too bad you lost some of the detail in the conversion. Some image programs let you change the quality of jpegs, and if you raised it to 96% instead of the default (usually 75%) you improve the quality a lot. ===== From daxrembo@bcl.net: You've done this before, haven't you. ;) ===== From rea@st-and.ac.uk: Very good - the flower is especially well-detailed. Beware with glass that the light is right - only problem is that light is a bit flooded, making the glass look a bit flat. Otherwise, excellent! ===== From jmills@stic.net: I love the rug texture.The chandelier and candle holders particularly stand out Good work! jmills@stic.net ===== From amarok@geocities.com: I love it! Let's try to find somthing to complain about... well, scanned images (the photo on the wall) usually looks mis-placed in ray-traced images. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Very nice and detailed work. ===== From xeo@sprynet.com: Wow! I like! Near perfect excuse for using lots of glass! Only one thing, are those candles light points? The room seems to have a little to much white light (maybe you should have dimmed the lights a little...) OK, I lied. Two things. The vase in the middle seems to have a little problem. It looks like you got polygons in the middle when you swept the vase, and you probably should have turned up the phong and reflectiveness a little more... (Did you use the metal shader for the glass too? :) ) ===== From uvasst00@mcl.ucsb.edu: I like the lighting in this image a whole lot. ===== From no13@ozemail.com.au: Some wall paper and skirting boards would help with the realism of this image. ===== From ptdawson@voicenet.com: This has an incredible level of detail. Great job! ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: Good composition and camera angle. The wallpaper texture needs more complexity, though; and the two silver trays (?) in the cabinet would also benefit from some kind of bump map. The table setting is really intricate, and looks great. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: nice composition. good colors. love the pic of you on the wall, nice touch. The plates are too flat (especially in the china cabinet; they reflect light too evenly (flat shadows?) From web_user@173-127-214.ipt.aol.com: Notable for composition, originality From web_user@p5-01.z03.glo.be: Notable for textures, lighting, modelling From web_user@tonyv.aztec.co.za: A lot of detail. But should we be re-creating the real world? Notable for modelling
