===== From spanky@wpi.edu: Great texturing! ===== From mikko.oksalahti@dosetek.varian.com: The stones are absolutely wonderful. The bone and the handle aren't. Good effort. ===== From jamez@xover.ml.org: what wasn't clear about 'nothing artificial'? ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Every detail looks very realistic! (This Old-Earth Creationist will forgive your picture of Darwin.) ===== From buck@cs.byu.edu: Your textures are wonderful! I really like the shells, stones, and the "atom earth." You seem to have already identified the weaknesses yourself in the text-file--the bone, for instance. Also, although the drawer is a nice idea, some more context would be nice--ie, where is the drawer? who owns it? why have they collected this stuff, etc. ===== From beliaev@utu.fi: I do not like "nature" being associated with "Darwin". ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Not bad, but the scene really needs more, with too much emphasis placed on the photograph. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: The wood seems too uniform to me, ruffing it up a little would help. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: The small stones are amazingly realistic. Fine image. You're definitely capable of "advanced modelling"; other people are not "far better" than you. Don't let this attitude prevent you from creating your best scene. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: Good idea as a way of combining different objects.
