===== From god@rajram.com: I SO AGREE WITH YOUR MESSAGE!!! ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good job on the isosurfaces. Cigarette ash looks a little too solid. ===== From panikme@yahoo.com.br: I like this picture, is very imprecive. ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: Great concept, but to me this image looks more like propaganda than art. The technical is exellent. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Great work. This theme has potential. ===== From Knight-Graphics@earthlink.net: This represents the _decay_ theme very well. I have to say that this is one of my favorite entries. I was disappointed in the clarity of the image though. Next time maybe try rendering it smaller or resizing it so that you don_t have to use so much jpg compression. Also, the ash on the end of the cigarette is to perfect. Continue to push the limits of your imagination (and your computer). ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The Earth looks excellent! I feel the cigarrette could use some improvements, as the textures look a bit too artificial. The burnt part also looks too cylindrical (perhaps another isosurface could have been used here). ===== From slone@hiwaay.net: Excellent concept and image. The cigarette looks a little too "ideal," but it fits in with the "poster" look. Nice to see the clouds floating over the surface. Too bad this is too true, and things have gotten worse this past decade. I do see hope in the next generation; at least they seem more aware of what we are doing to our home. ===== From file: REALLY COOL! The earth textures are just the teensiest bit off, but the whole thing is incredible. A real winner. Notable for lighting, textures, modelling, composition, originality ===== From file: I like the idea - I spent a while looking at this. It would make a good poster, but it houldn't win in my humble opinion. -RICH ===== From file: Nice idea! The cigarette could still use some texturing. Maybe the top of it should be modeled with an isosurface or a height field. It's too smooth. Notable for originality
