===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Why's the alien in a cage? I think the idea behind this image hasn't had a lot of though put in. But it is a nice picture and the modelling is good. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: Inside or outside of the cage doesn't really seem to matter, in this case. ===== From ojamies@cs.helsinki.fi: You signature jumps out too much for my taste ===== From : This is good for your first entry. But you may want to improve texturing the next time around. Also the scene looks almost too void. A scene does not have to be empty to give a feeling of loneliness. I hope to see work from you again in the next round. ===== From whitey@telefragged.com: imprisoned and... blurry. ===== From beighton155@yahoo.com: good but the light was unessesary, if he has light and courage then he's not lonely. ===== From novotek@web.de: welcome aboard - well done to you with the scanline-renderer of max4. nice shadow casting, but you'll have to work out the textures on ground (looks stretched.) ===== From dapigg2000@yahoo.com: Good-looking picture. ===== From rclee@oklahoma.net: I like the moon, fog, and cage. Wouldn't the bright star above the cage light the whole surface? ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Vaguely unsatisfying. Seems to be more an excercise in light and shadow = than loneliness -- the alien figure is not very visible. Suggestions: = try making the moon and the title/signature smaller. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: I like how you have done the lighting for this scene, and posed the alien so he is reaching toward the light. I would like to see a stronger, more visible starfield in the background. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Nice work for a first entry. The light effect is interesting, but it seems a bit overdone... it draws my attention to it and away from the more important aspects of the scene. The distant planet looks good. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Interesting. I like the light and shadows, but the alien is too washed out.
