===== From sammy@cube.net: Try to use more bump Mapping, and perhaps slightly lessen the reflections. It looks too much like a toy as it is now. The background enhance this effect I'm afraid. Still, I like the image, especially the snow on the walls and the fact that the houses are looking all differently. Let you want to run through the 'streets' :) ===== From denny1@home.com: The snow on the battlements looks pretty good (if a bit thick), but shouldn't there be snow on the ground as well? The walls are thick and look quite strong. What keeps the enemy from coming in the main entrance (no gate)? The camera angle is set up nicely to see into the room beneath the tower. Perhaps some toys or activity going on in there would be interesting. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: I like the idea, nice to children, yet present in this world - requiring some sort of protection. Imaginary but real at the same time. It does not really look like ice to me but it's nice anyway. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Good concept. ===== From gshaw@monotix.co.za: Well modelled. The ice texture could use some work. It sooks too solid ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Looks like a model, which doesn't seem to be the effect you are after, but a good model. To make it look full sized, the surfaces need more texture, and some colour differential. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: Maybe some small people in the picture would make it look less like a model of a castle. ===== From jull43@ij.net: This is oddly attractive for some reason I can not identify.
