===== From beliaev@utu.fi: Very nice picture. Just two remarks. IMHO 1. human figures are too simple for a picture with that ammount of detail, and 2. a child is not a scaled down adult, but it has different proportions. Head/total height ratio: adult = about 1/8; 5 year-old child >= 1/5.5; 10 year-old child >= 1/6; 14 year-old child(?) < 1/7; etc. I can send you the tables of human proportions, if you are interested. ===== From jkittle@earthlink.net: Good models, and idea ===== From 101741.541@compuserve.com: What a story ! Nice to see another generation relating back memories in raytracing. Great modelling job; Maybe too clean (textures) ? Would like to see more dirty wood, rusty metal,... ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: Nice story, and good looking picture after adjusting gamma as you recommend :-) Dealing with plain coloured objects is not easy and you made a good job with this. However you could improve the results differenciating more your textures: wood on the left and gray stain on the cranes. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Yeah! Very nice work! Very close theme, perhaps not too for more young people. Very well documented and realized. I liked all the objects and features except the smoke halos. ===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: Nice detail on the cranes. My only suggestions for improvement is to have more variety in the workers and the steam needs more work. I also like the gradient in the sky. ===== From arcana@sinbad.net: I love the technical detail of your image. I would have preferred to see a bit more work done on the textures. Much of them seem to lack a certain depth to them. You did a good attempt at creating the steam plumes, but they still look somewhat off to my mind's eye. Then again, you likely have more experience with them than I do. :{) ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: The only thing that detracts from the image is the sameness of the men. A lot of hard work went in to this image. ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: The machine is beautiful, the people look very similar though - like toys themselves. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: Nice pic. Great story. I don't like the steam plumes. ===== From msfl.bf@fasonet.bf: Very nice modelling. I find the people distracting though, because they don't stand up to the otherwise very high quality of the modelling of the other objects. ===== From r@ww-td04.proxy.aol.com>: I think the modelling is excellent. Could work a little on the highlighting (a little less ambience). ===== From r@regulus.its.uu.se>: The smoke from the pipe looks like it comes from above, flip it Y-axis perhaps...
