===== From roth@ens.ascom.ch: good modelling, poor texturing. Especially the metal is too perfect, looks like a plastic model ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Nice image! A small weakness are the color bands going to the horizon -- this should be a smoother gradient. Otherwise the sky is nicely done. The modelling is very nice, although the objects look a bit plastic. I would really like to see the animation -- it's too bad that can't be shown here. ===== From castlewrks@aol.com: Create one object and duplicate to ad-naseum... if the dishes had been rotated slightly in the array, it would have been less obvious that all of them were the same CSG. ===== From agage@mines.edu: I like the image, though the scene looks very flat. The metal does not have any specular appearance or reflection, and there are no ground shadows, which might help give a sense of depth. ===== From sonya_roberts@geocities.com: Very nice. I like the amount of detail you have in the framework supporting the radio dishes. The image is just a little drab though; maybe if there was some sort of logo/text on the dishes you could have added in as well? or even just a "grime" texture overtop of the basic white/grey colour of the telescopes... ===== From chipr@niestu.com: Great concept, beautiful execution. I've always loved looking at the VLA, and this is a faithful representation of it. I especially love the ground--very authentic. If I had any criticism, it would be that the 'scopes looked a tiny bit too smooth and perfect, but I don't know how you would fix that--maybe a micro texture on the surface, maybe a bit of atmospheric haze, a touch of focal blur, I dunno. The picture is very close to photographic quality as it is, so I'd probably just muck it up. Excellent job. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: I really like the sky and mountainous background. In spite of the detailed modelling on the telescopes, they seem unrealistic -- like models instead of large structures. Can't figure out why... maybe because they're monochromatic and dirt-free? ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: Pretty good CSG work. Intersting description. Something about Golomb rulers? ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: An excellent image. Well Done. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Very nice one, also good camera and quite appropriate lighting. ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: Nice, stark composition. ===== From r@dial-up42.webbernet.net>: The detail of the framework is very good. The stairs are nice. What are the ladders to nowhere? ===== From r@ts6-14.hfx.istar.ca: I love radio telescopes :) Notable for composition
