===== From chipr@niestu.com: Ah, the old glass chess-set trick, eh? The room is *gorgeous*; the chess set, eh, so-so. And that glass table-top definitely needs work--it just vanishes in the distance. And those books are all identical, and look like, um, I dunno, Duraflame logs or something. But the window, floor, mantel, and lamp--all first-rate. ===== From cgallego@nordnet.fr: http://home.nordnet.fr/~cgallego ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: a great start. I would have like to see a closer-up view of the pieces too. ===== From jjanger@mail.cspp.edu: Just simply well done. However, I think that making the table a little taller would have given it a better look. ===== From 93semeno@scar.utoronto.ca: You should make the books on the shelves a little more random. and the glass is about to fall right off the edge of the table!!!! ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: I like the chess set, but the coolest effect in the scene is the refraction off of the overhead lamp. ===== From danclegg@uniserve.com: weeeeeeee. ===== From rea@st-and.ac.uk: This is a very nice concept. I would prefer less glass (e.g. the lamp-shade?) and possibly a camera angle with more emphasis on the table, but nicely done nonetheless. ===== From jmills@stic.net: Very Nice. I love the glass table...simple but elegant ===== From pjones@powerup.com.au: Greetings to the *other* chess set designer :-) I think my chess set is better than yours - but I think your overall scene is better than mine! Time will tell, I guess. May the best chess(man) win! ;-) BTW: is your glass table refracting? I can't really tell, but the farther edge seems very difficult to see... ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: The wine glass seems to be floating in the air. ===== From no13@ozemail.com.au: The table edge looks odd. A bevelled edge might fix this. ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: Nice composition; but the far edge of the table is invisible and kinda confusing. A different ior or a green edge would be better. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: It is a nice complete scene.
