===== From spanky@wpi.edu: Those dudes are funny. And the sky IS SCREWED UP! was that intentional? To tell you the truth, with a really good sky, this scene would have been 10 times better. ===== From mikko.oksalahti@dosetek.varian.com: "You're playing God!" "(well) somebody has to." - Steve Martin ===== From d97ta@efd.lth.se: the sky coloring clashes with the rest of the image the sky and ground texturing needs more work but the trees are beeeaaautiful ===== From buck@cs.byu.edu: Nice idea. The sky, tho...a "real" sky would have been nice, I think. I like your trees, too. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Sonya's wins :). I like the idea!!! Very interesting. A few comments: * The people came out quite good, I think -- their poses are fairly realistic. Yet the minimal detail and insect-like appearance give them all the respect they deserve :). * the sky is a bit much -- I think it detracts from the scene. * the globes are quite well done. Unfortunately, the tech score on this scene suffers somewhat due to the shortage of original material -- it's mostly in the composition. P.S. Why didn't Sonya enter this round? ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: Neat, but the sky isn't right - to simple ===== From fisher2@pobox.upenn.edu: The sky is distracting from the rest of the scene. Also I would have done a more complex texture for the ground to make it look more like a sidewalk or something. Also I think it would have helped to make the glass domes clear rather than yellow and turned off the refrection. All these suggestions are to make the trees stand out more. I really liked the idea behind this scene! ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: I love the way the "bungling scientists" are running all over the scene! Bizarre sky REALLY detracts from this otherwise fine image. The glass seems to be solid, rather than hollow shells -- see wpremind.jpg in this competition for a better approach. ===== From r@hugo.fen.baynet.de: Wow, another funny idea for this more -mh- calm(?) topic! We all seem to like the "tree-in-a-glass" thingy. The texture of the glasses is nice "powerfieldish". And the people do right to panic and run around as one of the trees tries to get out of its containment.
