===== From sroberts@learn.senecac.on.ca: Very nicely done - excellant lighting. You only forgot one teeny tiny thing that I can see...when a bottle falls over and spills, the shape of the bottle traps a small amount of liquid. Your bottle appears to be completely empty. Also, the reflection of the wall in the mirror is odd - it looks bumpy. Was this intended, or did it just happen? ===== From jay@map.com: I do wonder, though, how the table, which appears to be parallel with the floor, appears to be at a 45 degree angle to the floor in the reflection in the mirror. Really odd effect. ===== From dster@syix.com: well composed image the lighting effects worked ===== From cgallego@nordnet.fr: http://home.nordnet.fr/~cgallego ===== From richmiller@hotmail.com: Your description was truncated -- how did you di the reflected light spot on the wall? ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: *GASP* ... it's "marvel"ous... :-) Now, go beyond the medium and tap into you artistic ability... ===== From gpig@prometheus.hol.gr: If you like realism in closed environments , why don't you try radiosity ? You can model naturally looking soft shadows and ambient light. ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: Hey buddy, "Marvel" is a word to shy from in your descriptions. Nice lighting. I agree that often artists don't pay enough attention to their lighting. I'm often guilty of this myself. You seem to be guilty of the "obscure placement of random objects", however. Enter again in the future, you have talent. ===== From usmitc04@mcl.ucsb.edu: Marvel at how the light reflects the low scores you get. ===== From rea@st-and.ac.uk: This image is reminiscent of some of the example images I saw to show off specular radiosity. Well done with the lighting. The only let-down is the bottle+stain, which look a bit flat. ===== From mwhite@redshift.com: Looks good. Add a little wine in the glasses and some reflection on the table top. ===== From jmills@stic.net: Nice floor texture! ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Wow! Everything except the bottle (which seems to matt) and the table (boring) looks great. ===== From ptdawson@voicenet.com: It's a great scene, and the lighting is perfect! ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: It looks a little artificial ( not unrealistic per se; but like someone's set this all up for a photo shoot). The lighting effects are interesting, as promised. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: Yes, it does have great lighting and shadows. From web_user@tonyv.aztec.co.za: Stark, mechanical and yet believable.
