===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Objects in space should have 0 ambient, the dark sides should be black. The ambient light really makes the earth feel like a small ball rather than a huge planet. ===== From zekaric@yahoo.ca: Looks like a space scene and the corrolation to speed is lost. ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: Dead off-topic no matter what you call it. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Ouch! That sun looks really hot! The Earth needs an atmosphere -- it seems like the oceans and land = masses go right up to the edge of the sphere. You know what would be really cool? Seeing lit-up cities on the dark = side of the Earth. ===== From 25ct@lineone.net: Good effort! Looks fairly convincing to me.
