===== From djconnel@flash.net: Nicely done!!!! Okay, so it doesn't use any sophisticated texturing... however, the renderingis still quite solidly done. Also there is opportunity for more to be done with the background. However, the concept and originality are very good. As you note, this begs to be animated, and would be a winner in an animation contest, where the simple background would be an asset. ===== From castlewrks@aol.com: Enigma... the bands are metal, the gears should move the bands, but based on the shape of the metal bands, they have to flex to move. While a neat exercise in POV programming, what is the engineering achievment? ===== From up@ct.heise.de: strange... ===== From sonya_roberts@geocities.com: Cool! I like the rainbow irradescence on the metal mobius rings. I bet this'd make a cool animation, too. ===== From kosh@nesys.com: Incredibly clever concept and implementation. Nice metals. ===== From kaustin@tgn.net: Nice image, though it has little relation to an actual accomplishment. ===== From chipr@niestu.com: Very pretty, but isn't this more of an artistic or mathematical achievement than an engineering one? Excellent work on the modeling. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Whoah! I'd love to see this animated. ===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: Very pretty and technically impressive, but unreal and a bit off topic. ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: I like the idea! The background could (should) be improved, but I'd really like to see this moving! ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Very very pretty! ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Though this may look quite nice and be a metaphor it is not really an engineering achievement. I doubt anything in such a construction might do useful movements. ===== From 101741.541@compuserve.com: Fantastic object ! I'd really like to see if it could turn !! A little isolated, tough... (and why not 800*600 ?) ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: This would make a cool album cover. ===== From r@svifw04.stl.mo.boeing.com>: Unbelieveable!!! I'd like to see an animation of it. ===== From r@svifw04.stl.mo.boeing.com>: Unbelieveable!!! I'd like to see an animation of it. ===== From r@dial-up42.webbernet.net>: Considerable topic slip, but a remarkable image nonetheless. The iridescence adds a lot of realism. I cannot imagine something like this without a bit of oil on it. How did you do irid in POV 2.0?
