===== From kazemir@pde.com: I like how the two audience members are leaning towards each other, as if they are whispering comments to each other. Nice touch. ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: The best part for me is the way the 2 heads of the people in the seats are tilted toward each other. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Very nice concept and modelling. Only some colors in the stage are a bit to harsh for me, but it's my personal opinion... otherwise, liked a lot! ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: A big production that fills the screen nicely. Good lighting and vivid colors. Nice composition with the foreground figures overseeing the performance. ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: 1.2 M polygons? Wow, did you count them? Seriously, POV doesn't support U/V implicit mapping, but at this distance, your mapping just look like plain colours. Wouldn't it be possible to separate body elements according to their own colours from poser, thus enabling you to use POV's features. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: The stage itself takes too little room in the image. A slightly less high format would have looked better. ===== From i_emackay@mountains.net.au: Nice effort. Too symmetrical, would have been better with different camera angle. ===== From Martin.Magnusson.7121@student.uu.se: The dancers still look a little stiff, like plastic dolls, but I like the posing of the two people in the "audience". ===== From arcana@sinbad.net: Nice scene.. Maybe a bit too much pink. Oh, and I think the curtains would have looked better if you used a modelled curtain. The image mapping on the plane comes off as something kind of crinkled/folded, rather than the natural curves a curtain would have. Overall though, it's a nice image. :{) ===== From msfl.bf@fasonet.bf: I especially like the very well done transition between stage and stage background. ===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: I really like the lighting, especially in the audience area. Interesting use of color. My only exception is that the women seem a bit too "full figured" for ballet dancers. ===== From web_user@flex058.dijkgraaf.wau.nl: It's nice to see more human figures introduced to raytracing, and your image is a very good example in my opinion. Poser models are yet far too smooth to be realistic when seen close, but froma distance like here they look very good. I would have chosen a different color than the green/yellow and pink that you chose for the stage, I think. Those two posts to the side - are those lampposts? if so, it would have been great to see the lights shining (with a halo around it maybe). If you have time, mail me a close-up of one of those lifted female dancers. They look, uhm, scarcely clothed... ===== From r@dialup83.webbernet.net>: I like the bold, unconventional color scheme, but the curtains are too plasticky. On my monitor, at least, the starry background needs more contrast.
