===== From rgow@lanset.com: Jupiter looks nice. The starfield looks a little cartooney. Good concept. ===== From shay@simcoparts.com: The HUD is very cool. The shapes in the scene are much too smooth and round. This gives the impression that the scene is miniature. ===== From chris@ugan.com: your textures need work ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: I wonder what all the squares are on the vulcano, and how the display at the bottom was done. ===== From awesomeamazingaaron@yahoo.com: Nice concept. With the reflection in the visor and volcano explosion it would probably have been very cool. "sorta stupid lil' green thing" according to my little brother. ===== From batronyx@alliancecable.net: Improvement comes with practice. This is a good effort. I suggest higher resolution heightfield objects next time. ===== From charliemc@prodigy.net: really like jupiter ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Although it surely does not look like that on io (jupiter would have to be larger, the lighting of surface structures and jupiter is not consistent), the scene has a pleasant look, i especially like the stars. The raster on the mountain is quite strongly visible. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Io is a good subject for this round. The sulphurous volcanoes offer many possibilities. The execution falls a bit short. I understand the yellow glow to represent the eruption, but the lava looks too much like some aquatic slug. The lava surface needs more noise. If you want "smooth", you should avoid "shiny". The stars are also in need of a makeover. Consult any of the several excellent star macros and include files available for ideas. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The glow in the crater does a fairly good job of conveying the sense of activity, although I agree a violent eruption would have been more spectacular. The lava should also be made more luminous - it doesn't really give the sense of being hot as it is now, as some parts of it are dark. ===== From hgregory3a@aol.com: nice effort! ===== From r@168-215-245-100.gen.twtelecom.net: Notable for originality
