===== From skipt1@aol.com: The colors the lighting came out nicely. Good work modeling the fish, he could use a mouth though. The sand texture could use some work to bring out the granulation in the foreground. The palm tree seems a little out of place rooted in the middle of a shifting a sand dune. Nice job, though, I like how this one turned out. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Nice fishbowl & refraction. Dunes appear to have artifacts. ===== From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu: It might be made using simple methods, but it gives some impressive results. That's a great fish, I like the tree, and the bowl and water are quite convincing. You might want to try some area lighting along with some photon effects with the bowl (my favorite lighting trick before I discovered radiosity). Great work here. ===== From ericf@foothill.net: The concept is good, and the placement of the elements is good. Would like to see more detail, especially on the sand, looks a little odd. ===== From raytracing@grayproductions.net: Pretty cute idea. ===== From file: Good idea Notable for originality ===== From file: Nice. It needs a little more story, I think... A reason for the fishbowls existence. Footprints, or a tiny impact crator? THe only other thing I notice is that the dunes appear to have points. I paint my hf's by hand so I can't help you on that one...
