===== From nitro_glis@yahoo.com: lmao! thats sweet! ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: Excellent concept of the theme. The image itself is kind of confusing, due to lack of contrast between the pieces. maybe you could try to light it differently as to get better illumination. One other tip: I find radiosity immensily increases the image. ===== From philip.chan@home.com: I like the way you have created the chess pieces, especially the pawns, as they are the pieces which have undergone the most "transformation." The lighting in the scene makes it a little difficult to see the details of the chess pieces. As for the light coming from the door, I feel that it would have been better to remove the door and just have a plain background. The door looks too flat and 2D compared to the rest of the image. ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: Good first entry. The first problem I see is a one of contrast. The piece seem to blend togather. All except the queen which looks out of place. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: I like this interpretation of the topic. The lighting seems to draw my eye more to the door on the top right than to the scene itself. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Clever way to integrate your signature into the scene. ===== From tm-ray@consistent.org: My main complaint is that the brown pieces are hard to distinguish against the brown-on-brown board. It looks like there's some nice modelling there, but it's really hard to see. The position also seems unrealistic, with the opposing rook so far advanced without any of the visible side's pieces having moved. The "transformer"-like pawns (peasants) are neat, but I didn't follow why some of them would be opened and some wouldn't, which made the picture harder to understand. Having light from the front instead of the back might have helped, as well. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Yep. So?
