===== From newkirk@snip.net: High brightness and contrast wash out the image. You need to adjust the lighting more appropriately, or perhaps check that you have gamma settings appropriate. Blood is unnoticable... I had to REALLY look to find it. With the hand as part of the focus of the scene, you need better detail in the form of it. (especially thumb and palm) I think the 'display' needs more physical presence. It looks like an image on paper laying on the floor. ===== From kniazfam@ohio.net: At first I thought it was a hand with the fingers bent backward. After I read your description, though, I understood. I like the general layout of the scene, but I don't think this will be a winner... ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: Nice job on the laser and the smoke it's passing through. The alien's feet should probably be bent or off balance since he is standing on an arm. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: The alien is nicely done! Nicely textured, nicely colored, and I really like the lumpy form. The rest of the scene could use a bit more attention. The blood was hard to identify. The thing on the floor, which I assume is some sort of computer, is strangely designed. It takes up so much of the scene, it needs to be treated with greater care. ===== From east103@dialaccess.com: I think I would have been better if the blood were not so reflective. ===== From 101741.541@compuserve.com: Quite pessimistic ! ===== From blaineholmes@hotmail.com: I really like your laser beam. ===== From clem@dhol.com: The idea is fairly standard. The execution isn't bad overall. The human modelling is so-so, but the skin has more texture than most, which is good. The alien is both well modelled and well textured. Good job. The blood looks like lightly tinted water. The laser, though unrealistic, looks good. The data screen or whatever you call it is the weakest part of the picture. It needs much more detail.
