===== From spanky@wpi.edu: I really like the icebergs in this scene. You do a great job of blending the mountains, snow, ice, and clouds. The only thing about this scene is it seems to feel a little empty. ===== From mikko.oksalahti@dosetek.varian.com: Good natural feeling. Could almost be mistaken for a real scene. If only flight simulators could render this kind of scenes 25 times/second. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: One of the best POV-ray mountains I've ever seen! A bit confused by the breaking ice below, thought. ===== From d97ta@efd.lth.se: looks freezing! well done. the mountains look a bit too brown, but what do i know? the cloud plane looks fine in the foreground, but the far away clouds look a bit too flat. the border between water/ice floes and mountain is a bit sharp, methinks. at first i thought the mountains were much higher than they are, and getting the water to fit with that altitude strained my brain into overdrive... :) ===== From marc_w@ncx.com: i live in a cool climate (NE USA) and i think you did a wonderful job! ===== From ulf.schreiber@gmx.net: One needs to view it two times to realize its qualities. ===== From buck@cs.byu.edu: I really like the layer of clouds below the camera, and the ice-flows. They look really good. The mountains look pretty discretized--perhaps the stone part of the mountain could use more detail? ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Jaime: I am glad you got your entry in! It is not a disappointment -- this is a stunning entry. POVTM has height field routines which will make some of this easier. Nevertheless, you have pulled off a masterful result -- this is one of the best renderings I have seen of terrains (it blows away anything I have done). The ice flows are a wonderful touch to a wonderfully executed terrain. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: Isn't Nevada a desert? - perhaps it menas snow in Spanish (a joke?) ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Excellent. Looks like a photo from National Geographic! ===== From 101741.541@compuserve.com: One of the most original landscapes. BTW, did you heard of "TMPov", an extended version wich has a "slope" pattern and height_field_at functions ? ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: After I turned down the brightness of my monitor (and put my sunglasses on), I saw the image! Reminds me of what I saw once, while on a flight over Greenland. The scope/scale of the scene is awesome. The broken patches of ice are particularly well-done. Excellent technique on the snow caps. Impressive, fine effort. Ironic title.
