===== From spanky@wpi.edu: The grayish flare arms almost look like geometry. Good work with the lightning although that does look like geometry as well(cuz it is apparently), it would be cool if you could make the lightning glow. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Lightning should light up more than that which it directly hits! ===== From d97ta@efd.lth.se: 101 ways to use chris colefax' include files and 101 ways to abuse lens flares definite winner. i can't make out what it's supposed to be (3 lighting bolts hammering away at a distant star?) do lightning bolts really create lens flares? where's the windmill? it's too dark and the lens flares obscure the bits that are not... ===== From ulf.schreiber@gmx.net: Some real light sources along the sparks are a very neccessary expansion for your lightning inc. ===== From buck@cs.byu.edu: That's some fierce lightning! ===== From jaime@ctav.es: It's a pain that the image is too dark, but looks nice. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: The image is really too dark given the extreme nature of the lightening -- such a strike generates substantial light. Also, I think the bolts are too pure white. Try using halos or some other technique to enhance the effect. The lens flare seems rather out of place here. ===== From fisher2@pobox.upenn.edu: The image is kind of dark. I think the way to improve this one would be to increase the fade distance of the light in this scene. Maybe adding in a stormy sky in the background as well? ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Has the windmill already fallen before being struck by lightning? Is it being struck by three separate bolts - all at the same instant? ===== From r@199.45.245.103: Nice concept. I'd reccomend using halos instead of solid cones for the lightning- it needs a sort of glow.
