===== From jknepley@nyx.net: Is the texture along the outer walls genuine? ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Nicely rendered! This is a very effective rendering of a highly topical subject -- this is one of my favorites, all around.... :) ===== From castlewrks@aol.com: Hmmmm... this is an interesting, if not unique image. The main problems that are apparent are the loose hap-hazard placement of the tiles in the reactor. In the same fashion that the real reactor would not reflect this kind of shoddy construction, modelling such a space should strive for similar perfection. ===== From up@ct.heise.de: have you ever been in a tokamak?!? seems to me ;-) ===== From sonya_roberts@geocities.com: Hmmm...never though I'd be calling a fusion reactor "lovely", but in this case I am. Even simplified down from the original image, the inside of the torus is a very striking environment. Excellant work! ===== From beliaev@utu.fi: Text is too long. ===== From kaustin@tgn.net: The center is very nicely detailed, almost to the point of moving beyond a trace. The outside wall of the reactor, at least in the back, is distractingly undetailed, however. Certainly one of the best images in the competition. ===== From daves@wkpowerlink.com: Incredible work must have gone into this one. The plasma looks great. ===== From chipr@niestu.com: Excellent detailed image. I knew what it was immediately, without even reading the text file--great choice of subject. The composition seems a bit too symmetrical, and the plasma is difficult to make out. Great work overall. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: After looking at the image for a few moments, I realized what it represents. Now I can feel the power! Excellent concept, excellent rendering. Extra points for attempting to maintain realism & accuracy. I agree, this image was worth the effort. ===== From arcana@sinbad.net: Very nice! You did a pretty good job of duplicating the jet-t3-m.jpg image found on the www.jet.uk site. ===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: All the time consuming work really paid off. I checked out reactor on the web, and this is a very nice rendition of the real thing. Very high marks for concept. ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: Good looking picture of a good idea. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Impressive! ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Hmmm... I've read about this some days ago. Interesting... ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Very nice idea and nice image. The plasma ring itself looks not really convincing, though. And congratulations to your computer for finishing a render job of more than a week. Sure it must be Linux :) ===== From 101741.541@compuserve.com: very nice near-abstract touch, graphically interesting; movement is also very well suggested ===== From c_et_d@club-internet.fr: I prefer to see it on your image than in real ! great modelling work ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: The modelling is beautiful, especially since you did it without blueprints or schematics. ===== From r@dial-up11.webbernet.net>: This picture is very striking. It is a technical tour-de-force and I cring at the amount of work involved. A very good piece of modelling. The texture on the blank wall areas doesn't really work for me, however. The subdued blue lighting makes this image feel like the atrium of a vast, empty ice castle, not a container for the force that powers the sun. ===== From r@bowerbird.cc.uq.edu.au>: Nice use of halos and radiosity Notable for lighting, modelling, originality, composition
