===== From brendthess@attbi.com: The tornado lacked a bit of something... mostly, fuzziness (it was too solid looking). The final framing of the debris in the flag pattern was a good touch. ===== From klynn@telefish.net: Love the debris. Maybe some transparency in the funnel cloud? ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: The scenery looks a bit too flat, but I like the destruction effects. The logo bit's cool 'cause I didn't see it coming :) ===== From evilsnack@hotmail.com: Scenery could have been more interesting, and the objects could have been more varied. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: Good concept and well executed. The scene could have benefited from a few more background details, though. ===== From Martin.Magnusson.7121@student.uu.se: The sky looks great. Good concept, too. The tornado looks a bit too smooth (I've never actually seen one, but it's smoother than I imagine it would be). The other textures need some work too, especially the furniture. ===== From martin@simaltech.com: A good idea. I feel that the flag "sucking" was very nicely done. A more irregular funnel would have been nice (i.e. distortion along the vertical axis). The debris scattering was impressive but (again) could have been a bit more irregular and random. ===== From emperorofrome@yahoo.com: The tornado itself was too simple looking it was'nt natural but i like the debri and sun pattern very orginial. It needed grass debri at the base of the totnado ===== From mmdoogie@ardmore.net: loved the way the tornado develops ===== From chris_darcy_irtc@yahoo.com.au: Good story. Excellent modelling & rendering. Keep up the good work ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: Good effects for the pieces being thrown by the tornado. I especially liked the view from inside the vortex. The building did see rather far away, though, and basic. Also, the tornado seemed fatter/wider than I think it should have been. An, of course, with some more scenes and such this could have been made into a more coherent or evocative story. ===== From kharrima@pcc.edu: The logo is nice ironic touch, thanks, Kathleen ===== From jonathan@scudder.no: Very nice ;-) Especially liked the twanging flag pole, the descent of the tornado, and the motion of the objects as they are ripped up. Would be even better if the tornado wasn't so solid (perhaps by having several nested tornados with a partly translucent texture?), and the furniture was a bit more colourful ;) ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: I like the idea, and the debris position stuff in the end was cool. However, the animation could use more color (part of the grayness was probably intentional?) and detail; especially the ground plane is too flat. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The motion of the flag is excellent! The tornado looks too opaque, and maybe a bit too "conic." The motion and placement of the debris is excellent, but I would have liked to see parts of the building get ripped apart before being completely covered by the tornado. ===== From quinet@gamers.org: Very nice animation. The shape of the twister is a bit too "perfect". It could have been better to model it as a collection of blobs (rotating like all the flying objects) and have a semi-transparent texture, but that would have increased the rendering time by a large amount. ===== From batronyx@alliancecable.net: Neat idea. The animation of the flagpole was particularly well done. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Good animation on the flag, the twister texture, the flying debris. I liked the way the twister chewed through the building bit-by-bit. Nice "twist" at the end. Excellent. ===== From file: very nice!!! Notable for modelling, composition ===== From r@ool-182deef3.dyn.optonline.net: I love the concept! The tornado dissipating also worked very well. The animation is wonderfully cartoonish, but if I had to make a suggestion, I would suggest that you make the rendering style "cartoonish" to match the animation. I don't mean cell rendering, but perhaps a bit more stylized. Notable for originality ===== From r@dsl-200-67-236-202.prodigy.net.mx: Impressive. Notable for textures, composition
