From roth@ens.ascom.ch:
good idea, very good camera placement. The ICs are a bit too bulky, try using
superellipsoids

From djconnel@flash.net:
This picture is EXCELLENT!  I have already posted comments elsewhere -- Either
this or npn.jpg gets my vote for winner.  The rendering of the components and
the IC board is incredible, the lighting an eerie addition to what can
be a lifeless environment... inspired by an Intel commercial perhaps?  The
only thing kee ping it from a higher rating is the lack of any wiring.  Still,
I really like it.

From castlewrks@aol.com:
Interesting image.  The colors and textures are true to life with regard to
the chips and hardware of the processor chips.  The reflection tends to distract

from the overall image.  More of the excellent chips and cicuitry would have
been
nice.

From sonya_roberts@geocities.com:
Cool!  With that atmospehric blue fog and the way the mirrors reflect the board
off into infinity, the board takes on a resemblance to a futuristic city of
some kind.  Excellant work! Triple twenty.

The 8088 is not dead yet!
I'm developing s/w for them now in a handheld industrial measuring instrument.
Nice job!

From kaustin@tgn.net:
I can't say that I agree with your definition of 'engineering,' but your
image is fairly well done. Are the other boards I'm seeing reflections of the
immediate foreground? The wiring is a little sparse, but what there is of it
gives the correct feel to the circuit board overall. Nice detached feel given
by the upper left extended distance.

This picture appealed to the computer geek in me. Nice use of atmosphere and
lighting, good modelling, and well-done textures.

From chipr@niestu.com:
Nice image, good atmospheric composition.  Good modeling and detail.

I think Steve Wozniak(sp?) of Apple fame is the father of this kind of
motherboad consolidation.  Great image and idea!

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Well modelled and lit.  Really gives the feeling of being inside a PC.
Good use of mirrors to expand the space.

From arcana@sinbad.net:
Nice image. :{)
I'm wondering at the choice to use atmosphere and reflect the boards up in the 
sky. Was it just filler, or to mask the fact that you didn't have time to do
as much as you wanted? I would have made the green surfacing of the boards a
bit less reflective. 

=====
From bobfranke@halcyon.com:
I really love this image.  The atmosphere gives the feeling great depth and
size.

As a side note...
If this is an IBM PC then it's not the first.  IBM bought the machine from
Seattle Computer and Microsoft bought the OS from Seattle Computer and sold it
to IBM.

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Well. I like this picture, especially the textures and lighting, even if it
represents a "Tiny Marketing Thing", and certainly not a "Great Engineering
Achievement".

=====
From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Excellent image.
Very Well Done

=====
From jaime@ctav.es:
Very nice concept and modelling.

=====
From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
Very nice image overall, but the chip in the front on the left side is floating
above the surface, or so it seems. The "bumpiness" of the circuitry boards
is a bit overdone, looks nice nevertheless.

=====
From 101741.541@compuserve.com:
Green circuit board is quite good, tracks and soldering are finely made.
Maybe some dust (but how ?) would have been nice.

From c_et_d@club-internet.fr:
Very realistic ; the blue atmosphere is THE right color for the subject. =
good image

From lpurple@netcom.com:
Really cool and original idea, and good execution.

Incredible!  A wonderful rendition of what is a, in reality, lifeless
environment.

Great idea.  I wish I thought of this one myself.  More components would be
nice, but I understand the time constraint.

From r@dial-up27.webbernet.net>:
The proportions and lighting make this feel like some sort of cathedral. 
Microchips or not, there is an impression of great size and despite the
lifeless nature of the subject, the masses and layout give a purposive feeling
lacking in many of the images this round.  BTW, if this is the inside of a
computer, where are the dust bunnies?
