===== From zekaric@yahoo.ca: Where's the horsies? Nice job and well done in making your own raytracer/renderer. From this image, it looks like it's pretty capable. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: great concept! I think the orange pieces should look more like fire, they're so shiny they look almost like orange ice. BTW, really high technical mark, I once wrote a ray tracer and there's no way it could do this image! ===== From limdaepl@gmx.de: impressive that you wrote the raytracer by yourself. that is a 20 for the technical merit ;) ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Nicely done. The only thing I can suggest is more DOF and a close up of the action - a more dramatic camera angle would have really finished this one off. ===== From s.day@uel.ac.uk: The chess pieces look very good, where are the knights.. (I had great difficulty modelling these with CSG so I can imagine where they might be..) The melting effect is very good. ===== From jgrimbert@free.fr: Where are the knights ? I envy your drops of water. ===== From file: I love the idea of this picture... Very very in keeping witht he topic and just a wonderful piece! I would say a winner! Notable for modelling, originality ===== From file: Looks nice, but pawns can only capture diagonally ;-)
