===== From chris@bluelectrode.com: There's a garden in this picture? Um...yeah, ok. Anyways, the modeling for the figures is excellant, although I think the 'wet' texture for the skin turned out too plastic. Good layout. Also...it looks like a second signature was clipped up on the right-most tree. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: The film effect on their skin looks to uniform - like plastic wrap instead of water. The female's form looks very realistic though. You should put the meshes on the web for others to use. ===== From YaelParis@operamail.com: The bodies are awesome but the textures on the trees are strange. Maybe some ripples around the bodies will improve the realism of the scene. ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: This is a really good trace. Probably better suited to the "Human Nature" competition than gardens. You did excellent work on the vegetation but it is lost to the viewer due to the characters. I like a naked girl as much as the next guy, and the alien is very detailed, but...for some reason I find it difficult to focus on the Garden aspect. ===== From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk: Not my cup of tea, but very competant. Why are they wrapped in clingfilm? ===== From ameede@madmac.com: ameede@madmac.com ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Hey ! The topic is supposed to be the garden, not what you do in it ! If you really made the models yourself from nothing then I have to say you're a pretty darn good artist. The textures are very well designed as well. But I think this 'still' goes too much on the side of the subject. I would not call this artistic by any means, suggestive yes, photorealistic, pretty much so. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Technical - nice work on the people Artistic - nice arrangement of foreground and background Theme - difficult to imagine a garden ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: This is an odd image... the background trees and scenery look completely flat, with the lighting being very low contrast and showing no depth. The body shapes and textures are impressive, let down by that background. I find the black bars distracting. ===== From file: doesn't really fit the topic ===== From file: doesn't really fit the topic
