===== From rgow@lanset.com: Simple yet effective. I like the colors. ===== From jguthkelch@netscape.net: re: your comment about isosurfaces.... Those who use 'em tend to be mathematicians or in a connected field. re: your image.... nice simple first use of isosurface. A few bubbles in the interior would have helped realism ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: The basic frozen image. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Nice use of the topic. The blue color gives a good feel of the scene as well. The ice cube looks more like water however, it tends to lack the small white cracks seen in ice cubes. Also if you model the watch faces you would get more depth. P.S. The watch seems more bent (warped) than it should in an ice cube. ===== From sammyf@wanadoo.fr: The ice looks great! Nice picture! ===== From N6re@mminternet.com: This is the depiction of a January morning when the alarm doesn't ring because it is frozen.....a sleep in morning until the clock thaws!!!!! Nice icy show, excellent distortion... ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Very nice image, quite realistically looking. Good, unobtrusive use of caustics. I also like the almost surreal background. ===== From david.madore@ens.fr: A bit bare. Technique is not impressive. The ice cube is probably to "wobbly" to suggest the idea of "being frozen". The idea of a frozen watch, and the hinting of Dali, however, is all right. ===== From llama009@hotmail.com: That is a brilliant interpretation of the theme....looks great ===== From clem@dhol.org: I guess someone had to do it .... I like the way the watch distorts. ===== From matt@alledora.co.uk: A really nice image, but it's a shame how the pocket watch looks kind of flat inside the ice - which to my eyes looks a little bit more like glass. Ice, unless it's made from absolutely pure water, usually has bubbles and things visible inside it. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The ice cube looks very good, but the phong highlight seems rather sharp for ice. I guess what really seems missing is air pockets in the ice, giving it more of a glassy feel. ===== From batronyx@alliancecable.net: Obvious, simple, yet pleasing to the eye. ===== From jfempire@yahoo.co.uk: Hi Franke -Frank ===== From slone@hiwaay.net: Very literal interpretation, but well executed with some nice subtle effects. ===== From noe.falzon@tiscali.fr: Wonderful ! This is extrmely beautiful. But I don't like the boundary with the theme. ===== From r@jerkweed.kiva.net: I think that this needs more context. What are those cones in the background? ===== From r@cntr37979s.dmps.k12.ia.us: The ice was well done, but I would like to see more: the ground and background don't measure up to the clock and ice. Notable for modelling ===== From r@cntr37979s.dmps.k12.ia.us: The ice was well done, but I would like to see more: the ground and background don't measure up to the clock and ice.
