===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: The sky, mountains and ship are very good. The space ship looks kind of organic, very much like some the Babylon 5 stuff. Too bad the cabin was a last minute thought. It really helps the scene, but needs more detail. It looks a bit blocky and simple. Very nice. ===== From grimmg@hotmail.com: do you know the fitfh element ? the first time I saw this picture, it was the first name in my mind ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: Great job on the ship~! ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: Very nice mountain range. ===== From kosh@nesys.com: The ship and mountains are great. The cabin is not up to the same high standards. ===== From caleb@chemeng.uct.ac.za: Really excellent image. I love your cinemascope sky - it will become my sky template! ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Interesting --- my first impression was that the craft was lifting off, not coming down. Good job on the terrain and sky. I think the building was a better choice than a human figure. Suitably alien ship. The ground blast is disturbingly bright. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Nice job on the ship! Julia fractals will earn you tech points every time.... look what it did for the Night round winner -- CD 2 cover :). I really like this image. There are two weaknesses, though. One is the house. It looks like a toy. It needs just a bit more detail.... benches, clutter, a reason for being. The other is the grass texture. It looks painted. It needs more "roughness" -- more structure. But the ship and the general scene is excellent! ===== From east103@dialaccess.com: Cool ship. Mountains are nice. Could use more work to integrate the house into the scene. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: You have a very alien spaceship there which is excellent. The jet and smoke are well done. The sky and hills are good. The cabin, though detailed, looks somehow out of place. Nice overall. ===== From blaineholmes@hotmail.com: Great job on the sky and mountains. Interesting use of fractals for the ship, like it's texture. ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: I like the spacecraft and most of the scene. The house might have been perfected. The loneliness impression is strong. ===== From clem@dhol.com: Great use of a Julia. Convincingly alien, almost Giger- like. The only problem is that the cabin looks rather toylike compared to the rest of the scene. Not in size so much as level of detail. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Very nice alienship, strange and interesting (It doesn't seems to be created by humans). Very good work with the halos, too. P.S.: Detail is never lost: even if not really visible, it makes the difference. ===== From r@haka.saunalahti.fi: The ship is refreshingly original, and makes good used of the possibilities offered by raytracing. I was just getting fed up with the endless "organic" ship designs when this one saved the day. Good work with the plasma, too, and the color gradient makes the sky look astonishingly photorealistic for something so simple. What's the white thing the cabin's standing on? Notable for modelling ===== From r@ppp048.worldy.com: Now here's a NICE scene! I love the flame effect on the ground. Looks real. According to me, the log cabin may be a bit TOO small. Or, perharps move the cabin closer to the camera to show off your attention to detail :) Notable for lighting, modelling, textures
