===== From chipr@niestu.com: Cute concept, fairly good use of halo effects. The only jarring note was the very weird-looking floor. ===== From mmandl@aol.com: I would have liked to havelooked at the .zip ===== From jsaxton@folio.com: he he ===== From bbowen@cswnet.com: Those floor tiles look like you could turn an ankle on them too easy, but I really like the texture you gave them. ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: Reminds me of a friend of mine who checked to make sure the gas was off with a match. ===== From amarok@geocities.com: + Cool idea. The ropes are neat. - The explosion is "clipped" by the ceiling. The floor tiles are very large. ===== From lowellr@globaldialog.com: Nice try. I like the concept ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: You captured a dynamic feel, nicely done. ===== From tholal@bga.com: The fire halos look great ===== From klynn@minn.net: Cool flame & cables. The floor tiles seem strange, though. Almost as big as the door? ===== From tlyons@gnn.com: You meen blowing the lab up is NOT part of the course? ===== From quinet@gamers.org: Excellent idea, and great fun. Suggestions for improvement: try to stretch some of the flames (glowing halos) in such a way that they appear to come from a central point behind the door. Some of them can be left in a "cloud" shape, but the explosion would be more impressive if most flames are stretched along a radius. Also, it would be better to show at least a part of the inside of the room, or at least the door frame, so that you see where the door comes from. Using a brick texture or some texture from "stones.inc" on the walls would also improve the picture a lot. ===== From 93johnst@scar.utoronto.ca: I almost made a similar image. Great minds think alike I guess. Obviously, I liked the concept for this image. :) ===== From sonya_roberts@geocities.com: LOL! Great idea. Floor looks a bit wierd though. ===== From jlb36@cornell.edu: Boom! The scary thing is, I almost did this once... ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Some strange proportions. Nice halos. Jaime (jaime@ctav.es)
