===== From fmurr@free.fr: Sorry but the competition is about 3D pictures and the topic for this round was Spirit Of Asia. ===== From pierrickz@hotmail.com: Sorry, but Photoshop isn't a raytracer. 1-1-1 ===== From staff@clickquicknow.com: Photoshop is not a renderer. I can not see the relevence to "Spirit or Asia". This needs to be in a gallery somewhere else, not here in the IRTC. ===== From klynn@telefish.net: The rules of the IRTC competition require you to use a 3D rendering program, and to render an image about the specified topic. Nice image, though. ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: Oh yeah, a triple-1! ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: The topic actually is "Spirit of Asia". Oh, and it is a raytracing competition. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: You are in the wrong contest. This is a 3D contest for 3D applications, Photoshop is a 2D application. ===== From soulmates@gci.net: You do realize this is a competition for 3D imagery? You image, while very nice, neither falls within this constraint, nor the constraint of the topic of the current competition. ===== From daffy-duck@worldnet.att.net: Is this image even rendered? And what does this have to do with Asia? ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: Totally off topic! This is a RAY TRACING competition also! ===== From thomas_alun@lineone.net: An astonishing disregard for both the rules of the competition (i.e. that you must use some form of 3D rendering software, and not just a paint package), and for the current topic (which is "Spirit of Asia", and not "Still Image Submission"). This makes it hard to give you anything other than minimum marks for Technical merit and Interpretarion of theme. Although it is quite a nice image. ===== From sanna@censa3.polito.it: All submitedd image should be obtained by rendering engines. Program such as Photoshop can be used on by: .)convert images to JPEG format. .)add text information to the image. .)adjust contrast/brightness and gamma correction. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: This doesn't seem to fit the topic "Spirit of Asia", or to have been rendered in a 3D program.
