===== Wow - great work! Very appealing/fun image - perfect for a "summer" image. ===== GREAT IMAGE. Good work! ===== I usually strive for photorealism, but I have to give you high marks in all three areas even though this pic is definitely not photoreal ( except maybe that gal on roller blades with the purple shirt. Nice Hair! ). It has life. It has attention to detail. Your people are dynamic. Kudos. ===== Wonderfully authentic. ===== Very nice raytrace.. ===== You did that all with pen, paper and edit? Wow! ===== Kudos for doing your own people, instead of borrowing "premade" models. And although being able to use tools is part of technical merit, placing this great amount of detail into a rendering by hand certainly demonstrates it. ===== Great scene. I have to say the tools used are among the best, and most powerful that I've ever seen. You forgot doughnuts though.... ===== What can I say? Well done!!! I'm going to have to take a look at this code and see how you managed to get everything aligned properly. Thats the problem I always have, even when I do the modelling by hand (which is usually how I do it). ===== I love that skateboarding wipeout! ===== To create such scene I hardly need to ray-trace it, I'd rather use traditional z-buffer rendering, but pay more time for design. ===== Great adherence to theme! ===== WOW! ===== Man, that's hot ===== Bright, colorful scene. Exuberant feeling, full of life. The people clearly look rendered, but their poses are very accurate. Quite a departure from so many of the normal dark still-life rendered images one usually sees. Top marks for concept and execution. ===== Nice effort, but I've yet to see raytraced people or animals that look real. Because of this, the attempt ruins the overall image, and I've gotta ding everyone who uses 'em. Sorry, 'cause I like the rest of the image, and I know how much work you put into the people... ===== Great idea and a verry fun picture. I *LOVE* the "skateboarder". Mostly because I can relate. Personally, I don't like people when they are this "geometric", but I'm letting that slide given the number of things in the picture it is still interesting to look at. I also love the way the theme is relatievely so small and off center in the picture. ===== Wow! Summer in the land of Mattel(tm) toys! Colors are a bit garish, but scene is really packed with life. ===== VERY INTERESTING SCENE! It is SO BUSY!! ===== I like the idea!! ===== Very nice image. I'm impressed that it all came from an editor and not a modeler. I like you have not found a good modeller yet.. Moray is about as close as I've come to an ideal one so far, and I have plans to try an program a text assembling modeller but only time will tell if it see's the light of day. ===== A lot of work went into this one I imagine. Very busy image. I am impressed with the positioning of the people (i.e. arms, legs, body etc.) most humans in raytraced images look off balance or awkward. I give you credit for even attempting to trace people, and more credit for the realistic poses. Good job. ===== The theme is good, and the amount of work you put into it is good. The eggs could have been a little better, as they are the focal point of the scene. Beavis and Butthead fan are we... ===== Wow, this really doesn't look as if it's a still-image! When will the movie be out?!? ===== There is obviously a lot of work and detail in this picture. nice trees, great people. very very nice. I thought the mailbox said "Pothead" at first. What flavor Tastycakes do you find work best? Artistically, i am confused about the black girl, front left. At first i thought she was too close to the camera (distracting from a broad landscape), but the blouse and pot of flowers are killer. Maybe its the piercing eyes and red lips? ===== This image is of absolutely unbelievable complexity! Not only does its diversity make it visually interesting, but as a POV'er myself, I can't believe someone did all this --- in a TEXT EDITOR!!!? I can easily imagine hand assembly of such an image as taking the better part of a year, but in time for the contest, too? Amazing. ===== very nice inblending of idea into scene (extra's). ===== Very Good. Amazing. Thanks for giving out all the source code, too.
