===== From denny1@home.com: Erm, hmm. After reading the description, I was hoping to see Mario in the scene. The concept is nice, going to a great deal of effort arranging 3D objects to get the desired 2D appearance. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Unpleasantly simple: no subjects in this kingdom? ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: No, not everyone knows this game and I personally never heard about it before, but hey I'm not a computer game person (well, not so much). That does not mean I did not find it interesting. Maybe you could have cut down on text, too verbose. Certainly a good on topic one and nice technical tricks. Simple enough but efficient. Well, it looks simple but surely must have taken some effort in doing. ===== From shipbrk@gate.net: I *knew* it looked familiar... :-) ===== From rguillard@claranet.fr: Better than the original ! ===== 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 but not recognizable if you are not familiar with Mario. ===== From clem@dhol.com: Feh. An imaginary world of your own, no matter how "lame", would have been a far better choice than just copying a (copyrighted) scene from a video game. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Hmmmm. I've never seen Mario World. Had no idea what this was until I read the text file. Just looks like a few shiny simple shapes to me. ===== From jull43@ij.net: I get such capsules from the drugstore. ===== From r@dc2-modem877.dial.xs4all.nl: Notable for originality ===== From r@dc2-modem877.dial.xs4all.nl: Notable for originality ===== From r@ascend-tk-p165.rhrz.uni-bonn.de: I am a big fan of the Mario games so I loved this picture :-). The plastic-look is very well done. Notable for textures, lighting, originality
