===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Very nice image with great details, but it doesn't really give me a feeling of loneliness. I like your explanation so I don't think the image is off topic, but it would have been nice to see someone lonely in the kitchen. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: Unfortunately I feel that the kitchen is a very happy place, where you cook for groups of people that might visit, or where you can create pleasing meals for yourself. I associate food with life... Even though technically it is well made (it really looks like a kitchen with enough cluttering objects) it misses the lonely feel that would make it fit the theme. ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: An everyday kitchen doesn't give that dark mood. A long-abandoned one (cobwebs, broken plates, rot) does. ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: It doesn't strike me as a fair depiction of the topic "loneliness". ===== From dapigg2000@yahoo.com: I see there are no people, but I don't really get the link to the topic either. A kitchen with no people in it?... oh well. ===== From rclee@oklahoma.net: Excellent modeling and good lighting. ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: Nicely realized. Yes, that sense of moment, mortality, that permeates our a= wareness. Heightened in an emotionally loaded environment. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: I really like this image, but it doesn't seem to suggest "lonliness" to = me, somehow. Quite good technical work -- lots of fascinating details in the models. = I like the spoons, knobs, curtains. For further realism, you might want = to try using area lights and radiosity. Your rendering time will shoot = up significantly, but the effect on a scene like this one is worth the = wait, I think. Fine work overall. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: Wonderful detail ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Excellent detail and assorment of objects to create a complete kitchen. Two things I find awkward are the cupboards (being able to see into the cupboards between the doors), and the "vent" above the oven (too shiny/reflective). ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Nice job of filling out a scene with lots of small details. Everything looks good here except the texture on the cabinets... for some reason it just doesn't appeal to me. Lighting works well. I don't really get loneliness from it, though. ===== From jl@artcom-gmbh.de: Very nice modeling, only the curtains look a bit strange. ===== From clem@dhol.org: You can indeed be lonely in a kitchen, but all I see here is kitchen. It doesn't convey the "lonely" aspect to me at all. The modelling is very good,but the effect is more technical skill than artistic.
