===== The petals are, perhaps, a little too smooth, but the bee looks good. ===== AS for the raytracing induced melt down of brain cells: a good drink can cause these symptoms, too ;) Cool pic. ===== I agree with your PS. All these happened to me. ===== two errors: 1) bees have two pairs of wings, not one 2) I see no visible constriction between the thorax and abdomen which would be present on all bees. ===== Awesome bumble bee texturing effect. I love the bristles. ===== Like it! ===== Some more phong highlight would help ===== Technically incredible! What an image! ===== Great perspective! ===== Carl Sagan might have said. ===== Good composition. ===== Nice use of height fields but the bee is a bit too fuzzy. ===== Exelent work. Good use of the orb-cyl utility. You have given me some great ideas already. ===== The heightfields make a great grass texture. Less effective for the near objects. Does add interest to what might otherwise have been a pretty boring flower and bee. ===== Great work! ===== The supposed to be fuzzy parts are to large of scale Also it all looks too sharp...Focal blurr should do the trick ===== Very nice scene...never seen the fuzz effect in povray before. ===== Wow. Excellent Bee. ===== Bee and flowers seem a little too fuzzy. Perhaps if you scaled the heightfields to 3/4 or even 1/2 of their current height. ===== Great concept wonderful detail ===== Nice image - took a lot of time to model, didn't it? ===== The bee is great. I think the flower petals are a bit too perfect, maybe some crackle would help? ===== I liked the concept of one of nature's ultimate flying machines done in almost surreal format. ===== Cool fuzzy textures. Nice modelling on the flower petals, even if they are a bit too perfect. Overall very nice scene.
