===== From jknepley@chisp.net: Had the beginnings of a Riven-esque scene. ===== From agage@csee.usf.edu: Nice rough texturing, and the focal blur is well used. The submerged object appears to be the stack of a boat, but maybe this is part of the illusion. The water is well done, though its contact with dry land seems a bit too abrupt. ===== From xeo@home.com: Very good texturing for TrueSpace. Has a Myst-like look to it. ===== From witoslaw@kki.net.pl: Where is the horizon??? ===== From jerry@hoboes.com: Very nice texture on the tower; the fog in the distance looks like it has too sharp a border; the clouds in the sky are a bit weird. Is the sky flat? ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: The scene has a 'Myst' feel to it. the water needs to interact with the objects in it. Perhaps a watermark on the cylinder and ripples from the crates. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Excellent structure, sky. Rest of scene is like, what's the point? ===== From vogelap@email.uc.edu: Very MYST-like. ===== From beliaev@utu.fi: Each object looks very realistic, but they do not work as a whole. There's no depth (or something like that) in this picture. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Well, not revealing "tricks" will cause inconvenience for you, because the scores will be lower. To me the mist does not look real, either, rather like a film perpendicular to sea the viewing direction with some texture on it. You cannot see through the water and the boxes floating in the water are very strangely lit, as if they each had a small lightsource for themselves. The water does not interact with the concrete structure or the small patch of land in the foreground. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Ok, I give up, what's it for? ===== From jesse@kesmai.com: I have to say that the wood texture on the boxes is quite good, along with the clouds in the sky. The mist off in the distance looks a bit odd though, as if it were mapped onto a large cylinder or plane of some sort. It doens't look quite...'misty' enough (if you know what I mean). Otherwise, very good!
