===== From denny1@home.com: Well, I suppose since it is something which doesn't exist except in your imagination that makes it an Imaginary World... but perhaps a bit more detail to make it a complete "world" would help. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: This image looks like it was thrown at this competition and a label put on it to say it complies with it. For me this is a clear off-topic and it looks like more work could have been put into it. I have to admit there something of an artistic licence. ===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: This is a good start on the basic concepts of Constructive Solid Geometry. All images start this way, the winners of the competition just keep going and adding more detail. Try experimenting with more textures and check out the normal statement. I expect your next entry will be greatly improved. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Good concept. ===== From clem@dhol.com: Pretty, and I like the criscrossing shadows, but there is no story and it doesn't really say "imaginary world" to me. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Simplistic image with only a couple of textures and some repeated shapes. Lighting is interesting, the shadows add depth and interest, but not a very detailed image. ===== From jull43@ij.net: more columns. ===== From r@209.155.62.50: topic? -- apply texture *after* translation, so that the same swirls are not repeated on each column ===== From r@209.155.62.50: topic? - apply texture *after* translation, so the same whorls don't appear on each copy of the column.
