===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: For me meals are never lonely... But I like the fact that it was all done in a text editor. ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: It's hard to see loneliness from a close-up, almost intimate perspective. Back up a bit and show a wider vista. ===== From : I understand exactly where you are coming from (story wise). The image has some good textures, though I believe a few more layers would also help. However the #1 thing that hurts this scene is the lighting. A fake GI or radiosity would do wonders. P.S. I was not sure when viewing your image first, if the logo was supposed to be part of a tile design or not. ===== From dapigg2000@yahoo.com: I think the lasagna has passed it's sell-by date. ===== From tim.nikias@gmx.de: Nice idea. Loneliness described by eating pre-made food... Good point! ===== From rclee@oklahoma.net: Good reflection in the microwave. Counter top is a bit too clean and shiny. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: The microwave is modeled well, but it would be difficult to open the = door this direction. The tiles are good. What is the partially = transparent object in the upper right corner? =20 ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: I personally love microwave food! The object (logo?) in the top right is and odd clash with the scene, I wasn't sure what it was at first. The scene seems rather condensed and crowded as well. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Some elements of the scene look very good, and others clearly show the haste in which it was assembled. The microwave and the tiles both look fairly realistic, but the other objects look very artificial. The lighting could also use some work, as the shadows are too hard (radiosity maybe?). ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Not bad at all considering the time spent. The microwave looks pretty good, and I like the tiles a lot. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Concept ok, but not fully shown. Dishes are too neat. That pencil/microphone/whatever logo is way too distracting.
