===== From agage@mines.edu: Since you're looking for feedback on improvement, here's what strikes me: First, there isn't much color in this scene; for the sake of a lab, I can see the need for plain walls, but it feels too plain. Next, a tiny bit of atmosphere to be able to see the beam from the light would be nice. ===== From jjanger@mail.cspp.edu: A little bit of a brighter picture would have helped. ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: Technically, you could try halos to show the light beams, and much more colors to give an illusion of continuity. Then you could try to work out the scene itself. ===== From libelle@webbwerks.com: Looks good. The beam coming out of the flashlight looks dark, though. ===== From sonya_roberts@geocities.com: The image is quite nice, but there was a problem with the physics of it that even I could spot; your source light is quite wide, but the rainbow coming from the prism is emanating from a point. You either need a much smaller flashlight, a much bigger starting area for your coloured spotlights, or a piece of cardboard with a small hole in it between the flashlight and prism to block most of the light. The banding in the rainbow is also a little strong...perhaps one or more additional spotlights between each of the existing ones, in the "partway" colours, would have smoothed the effect a little more. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: You have plenty of talent. Good job. ===== From cfusner@enter.net: Ok, since you said you're looking for suggestions: 1.) lower the angle at which the flashlight is shining. I don't believe the ior would bend the rays *that* far. 2.) The main prob with the spectrum is that the circles of the individual spotlights are too obvious. Try giving the spotlights a nice high falloff value, and if even that doesn't blur the circles enough, consider the long, hard road of rendering 7 separate images, each with a separate color then averaging the final images together. More details? Email me and let me know. cfusner@enter.net ===== From alex@astro.queensu.ca: atmosphere would have added so much more ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Very simple, but still very stylish and good-looking. The spectrum is not life-like, but I think that's almost impossible to do with the currently available programs.
