===== From scarmig@ohmss.com: Great idea! ===== From rbenjam2@tampabay.rr.com: I've found that when you are doing a lot of lights, like for a movie marquee, you can get away with making a lot of them fake lights with just a high ambience. The "real" lights that include light sources take care of the lighting while the "fake" lights make it look like you've got enough. ===== From sammy@cube.net: Why does the street look like it was flooded? ===== From tglover@nettally.com: Good pic. And gas was $0.19 into the 70's Very good modelling and lighting -- good details on textures. Puddles in mid to far scene work well, while the one in the lower left seems too slick -- almost ice-like. By the way - many fire departments paint hydrents' caps to tell what amount of water can be pumped from them. Those connected to sdmaller water mains may have green caps while those on bigger mains may be red or blue, for example. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Why not. There is quite a lot to it. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Unusual colors all around, such as the orange sidewalks, muddy streets, and rainbow sky. Good work on the background objects. ===== From mark.wagner17@gte.net: Nice job on the fire hydrant. ===== From clem@dhol.com: Clever and original choice. Usual excellent research. Good colors. Not highly detailed, but effective. A bit of wind to ripple the water would have been nice. Good vines. Good color. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Very nice take on the suggestion in the topic explanation text. I'm impressed by the amount of research and effort put into this, and the results really show it.
