===== From grimmg@hotmail.com: Wingdings Font ??? ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: I love the blue force fields. But they're not evenly distributed. ===== From caleb@chemeng.uct.ac.za: I like the effect of the planet in the background - very nice. Very good concept as well. How did you do the cracks on the ground ? Is it a texture ? ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Clever idea, well done. The foreground robots have a strangely ...posed look. I think it's because of the angle of the sun. Interesting detail on both robots. Nice cracks in the ground, but the rocks have no connection to it. ===== From MMandl@aol.com: I like the way you created the feeling of distance. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Bob: I like everything about this scene.... except the rover. While the attention to detail in the model is excellent (I especially like the torsplines!), there are a few problems. One is it looks impossibly fragile, as though made from an Erecter Set. The other is the treads are wrong.... they are too deep for the parched surface, don't appear parallal, and the behavior near the rock doesn't seem right. Still, the scene has a lot of really good things going for it. The sky is spectacular, and the mountains are really quite good. ===== From east103@dialaccess.com: Nice job with the planet and rings. Could use some more work on the texture for the hills. ===== From rohde@xmailer.informatik.uni-bonn.de: I did the other "robot-crawling-remote-planet" picture. I like your ground texture; it looks much more interesting than my sand. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Good idea. Tells the story. Perhaps the lighting is a bit bland. ===== From blaineholmes@hotmail.com: I think your scene carries your idea well. Beautiful job on the moonscape the rocks and ground are well done. I would have liked to have seen more shadow play in the scene, maybe move the sun out to one side. ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: Lighting makes the background a bit flat. It might have been funny to add a shadowless, attenuated light inside the sphere to add a glowing influence on the ground. ===== From clem@dhol.com: The idea is good and the alien landscape is harshly beautiful. The alien probe, however, is a letdown. It is at once unrealistically simple seeming and far too prosaic. The coloring and shiny texture also, to me, clash artistically with the rest of the image. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Very nice and original concept. Strange but possible... ===== From r@haka.saunalahti.fi: With so much detail in the rover and so little in the background, a viewpoint closer to the earthbot might've been more appropriate. Adding roughness to the terrain with normals would make more realistic - the tracks especially look painted on.
