===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: impressive CSG. I think the materials could use more work, everything looks a bit too colourful and perfect. ===== From zekaric@yahoo.ca: (To take with a grain of salt, I'm no pro.) I'll grante you originality but in my mind tractor pulling isn't exactly I'd associate with speed. More Power. Nice work on modelling. ===== From BigTrav2001@chartermi.net: The back wheels and the dust look really great. Front wheels are a little too plastic and reflective, considering how awfully dirty they must be. Same goes for the white part of the back wheels. Nice job modelling the welding on the sled. I wish you had showed more of the sled though. ===== From p.gibellini@teinos.com: Interesting scene. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: This image would do better in a "power" competition than "speed"! Good work on details like the flags. Attractive paint job on the = tractor, but the red chassis rails seem to be glowing a little. VERY convincing blur on the wheels. Nicely done smoke and dust effects. = Very high technical score. Sometimes I look at an image an ask myself, "this cannot be a photograph = because...?" The answer here eluded me for a while. I think it is that = the sun and sky are casting unrealistic light. Have you tried rendering = the image using several area lights to soften the shadows? Radiosity? ===== From 25ct@lineone.net: Well executed, nice modeling. I would have liked to have seen more dirt flying off those back tyres.
