===== From dbn_3@yahoo.com: This is my favorite. I can hear the surf pound the rocks and can easily imagine the storm the night before that tore apart that ship. (1) The wet look of the bottom part of the rocks, then fading to a damp look a bit higher, then fading to a dry look higher than that is fantastic. (2) When looking into the cove, my eyes take just a second to adjust to see the rocks inside -- just like they do in the real world. (3) I like the plank -- why the name? why the date? -- maybe the vagueness adds to the appeal. (4) The water is a good attempt at waves with whitecaps, but something isn't quite right because sometimes when I look at the whitewater it looks like sand to me. ===== From bertram.henze@t-online.de: Do not apologize, learning from others is a main goal and an honour to those learned from. Everything is perfect, for all that - that's the way to go. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Nice work creating the caves and rock. The water also looks very good, although some of of the ridges for the waves are too distinct. ===== From jyrehby@hotmail.com: Pros: one of the very bests of this round! Excellent modelling, textures, colors, lighting, realistic water... Don't apologize for borrowing pieces of code, you gave well enough in return with this picture!!! Cons: err... let me see... none. ===== From file: Notable for modelling, textures
