===== From denny1@home.com: I'm assuming the Las Vegas background is an image, not a model. A bit more description of how the image was created would be nice. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: I have a hard time to try and imagine how hard this is to create with 3DsMax. But certainly not the same stuff as doing that with POV-Ray. Hence a mitigated technical merit. However I like very much the skin and hair and the work on the character is good. Whether this is on topic is another issue and my opinion is this image has been pourly fitted to the theme with a simple comment. On the other hand, people always dream when one says Las Vegas as it is associated with imaginary worlds - the bait of the gain at the game. ===== From shipbrk@gate.net: Good modelling work on the character -- very expressive -- but it would have been nice if the background had been rendered rather than a photograph (if it was rendered, please let me know and I'll apologise immediately). ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Very interesting. The background looks like it could be straight out of a magazine. The expression on his face is very well done. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Um... interesting... Doesn't seem to fit the topic at all and the huge image mapped background doesn't help. Technically, the figure looks okay, in a wooden dummy way, but why is there a light inside his mouth? ===== From jull43@ij.net: I just dislike this one.
