===== From loomsbury@yahoo.com: What do the dials on the... thing... do? The ball around the city doesn't look like a complete sphere. It looks nice. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: Incredible attention to detail with the textures and the waterline on the snow globe. A unique concept. perhaps some of those snow flakes at the bottom of the globe would improve the image. ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: The background looks like a scanned image placed on a plane ===== From Stickgod01@aol.com: Very good idea, good composition. Only problem is how the glass seems to dissapear on the top part of the globe. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: The desert landscape looks great, and I like the texturing on the base of the souvenir. Interesting concept as well. The top half of the globe looks a little peculiar, though. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: A neat idea, and reasonably well done. The real problem here is the souvenir looks intersected with the sand, not buried in it. ===== From file: good concept..the scattering of reflections in the 'dome' are a bit distracting though... Notable for originality ===== From file: nice combination of 3d-surface/horizon-bitmap, you should also try heightfields Notable for composition ===== From file: Very good idea!
