===== From skipt1@aol.com: Cute idea. This image is quite the eye soar though. The colors are just way too harsh. Blue on orange and black stripes: tone it down some. The modeling is adequate for the cute cartoon like characters you have created, but then the other areas such as colors and lighting need to be focused on to compliment and compensate. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: nice lighting. I think the penguins would look better with a smoother texture on them, so they look more cartoony. ===== From AlaskaS@gmx.de: The Idea is really funny and the penguins are cute :) But you could have spent some more time on the image. Things like the visible end of the isosurf on the left side of the image are making me sad. And a sky would have been nice too! ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Heh heh, cool image. Good job on the isosurface. Penguin beaks seem misplaced in relation to the eyes. ===== From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu: Impressive isosurface, though the texture for the objects could some work. The lighting is a little bright for the most part, though some radiosity might help to light up the really dark shadows. Simple but effective models, good work. ===== From ericf@foothill.net: I liked the concept, it made me smile to see it. But I wanted to see more elements of the desert apart from the dunes and the lone cactus. Also the sky gradient is a bit abrupt, which takes away from the image. ===== From raytracing@grayproductions.net: Looks like a wacky TV add to me... Funny, I liked it. ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: The antarctic home of those penguins is another form of desert, at least inland. Even desert skies have haze or dust if not small cirrus clouds. ===== From file: Good idea Notable for composition, originality, modelling ===== From file: The vividness and sharp shadows grow on you after a while.
