===== From roth@ens.ascom.ch: Your picture made my coffee go cold... ! ===== From djconnel@flash.net: The coffee pot is nicely done! Ho wever, other aspects of the scene lack some originality and some opportunities for technical merit were lost... for example, everything is MUCH too clean for coffee areas I have seen. The note is a nice touch, but could use a bit more polish, I think. djconnel@flash.net ===== From castlewrks@aol.com: This image shows how real an image can be made to look with the right selection of textures and colors. It is a very nice image. ===== From sonya_roberts@geocities.com: Yup, coffee, the foundation of modern civilisation...long may it provide the impetus to keep us going... Great work, and very cool coffee machine...never seen one like it. Is it a real machine, or one you've come up with yourself? ===== From kaustin@tgn.net: Nicely done image, would work well in an advertisement. A tad off subject, as the topic was Achievements rather than Inspirations, but not bad. ===== From chipr@niestu.com: Right on! Good modeling, colors, detail. A stain or two would have been nice, but not absolutely necessary. Very cute concept. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Great modelling and realism, but nonexistent engineering. ===== From arcana@sinbad.net: A very nice image. I would have added something like some sugar packets, or a sugar bowl. Maybe put a couple of chips on some of the cups. Give the scene a bit of a "lived-in" feel. ===== From ingo.guenther@netcologne.de: Hello! Thanks for this funny entry. There's something missing to make it perfect (I suppose it could look slightly more realistic somehow), but it's the best idea (IMHO), and it's very well done. Bye, Ingo. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Excellent image but really more wit than engineering! ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: really good stuff. Looks like I need to revise my opinion on 3DS a bit, in the hands of the right artist it can make good and realistic images ... ===== From c_et_d@club-internet.fr: the coffee machine and all the scene is very realistic... A strike for = coffee..To morrow i try ! ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: Could use a faint amount of dirt/grime; but overall a very well done entry. ===== From r@du32-249.ppp.algonet.se>: ;-) ===== From r@dial-up11.webbernet.net>: The textures and attention to detail are excellent. The ragged bit of tape. The edges of the tiles. The fine grain of the coffeemaker body. Very good job.
