===== From rgow@lanset.com: I think I'd like to see it with the antialiasing. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: This really needs anti-aliasing, the sea & snow look way too noisey. Also everything seems very dark, which is quite atmospheric but it makes it look like the landscape isn't detailed. ===== From shay@simcoparts.com: The shape of your land mass turned out very nice. The textures confuse the image, but this may have been the effect for which you were looking. This looks like a very nice flight sim. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: Looks quite like my entry... ===== From awesomeamazingaaron@yahoo.com: Nice but the dust effect is kinda grainy and could be more realistic. ===== From llama009@hotmail.com: too dark in the fore ground ===== From batronyx@alliancecable.net: A couple of extra points for takin the time to learn functions. Some people are actually still afraid of them! I think anti-aliasing might have actually helped here. ===== From charliemc@prodigy.net: great ideas. ===== From : While I appreciate your approach to working with 3D, I do not think it is the best method. After 2 weeks of playing around, an error allowed you to center the image. It is a great effect to use, but I think you should have known this before starting your two week excusion. Well, at least you know it now, so the 2 weeks was worth something to your artistic knowledge. Minimalism is usually used to fight against the chaotic mentality sometimes involved in making images - a clear mind leads to clear understanding. I am not sure that what you described or rendered is minimalist. . . but don't take that in a negative way, since I don't think minimalism is all it is cracked up to be. ===== From SRJeff@vbbn.com: Not bad, but the entire image looks just a bit tilted and unbalanced. Increase the anti-aliasing, since I only see a 'sea of jaggies.' The clouds and mountains look impressive, but the view didn't look too spectacular. ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: I like the strange composition and lighting. The texturing of the land seems too similar to that of the water but all and all, a very good answer to the topic. ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Nice atmosphere, good work on the sky. But the ground and sea look very jaggy, at least some antialiasing would have been very good. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Interesting. I don't like the land texture. The land needs more differentiation from the sea. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The white caps on the water are a nice effect. The ground fog looks somewhat coarse, but this is probably something that anti-aliasing would fix, but possibly at the cost of destroying the white caps as you suggested. The small patch of blue sky seems out of place to me, as the rest of the image gives me the sense of a completely overcast day. ===== From agrif@phreaker.net: Nice work with few objects!
