===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: The tire tracks to me looked more like railroad tracks. The mailboxes were a nice addition, but this scene seems too empty. Where are the telephone poles and the rest of things outside the front entrance? Using variation in height on the fence pieces was a smart idea, however, you used the exact same texture and mapping co-ordinates on each piece, and it shows. The hills look too artificial as well. Though it is an enjoyable piece of art overall. Hope to see more work from the family in the next IRTC. ===== From yrtrouble2@hotmail.com: Very nice effort from everybody. The image draws the eye to the backgound Unacannoonuc Mtns. ===== From rjhansen@myrealbox.com: This image really conveys a winter feel to me. You're right, the trees are really nice. ===== From pokorny@attglobal.net: The snow fence! I am glad somebody did something here. I hope I can swing a family entry someday - it would be fun. Very nice winter sky. ===== From tom@tomandlu.co.uk: Very nice image - it's a shame the radiosity didn't work out, and the textures could do with some work, but I like the composition. I can't see the artifacts you mention - do they show up in the jpg? ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: Like the sky and hills. I looked for the artifacts ya mentioned and couldn't find anything but unformed tree parts and shadows. Try a little antialising. The snow in the foreground is flat, could have been done with a height field. ===== From file: Very nicely done. Good sky. The image does suffer from a certain monotony, though. Such is winter, I suppose. Notable for textures ===== From file: i'm getting cold by looking at it. Nice. Tree shadows on the left are not realistic (the hills are too close).
