===== From shevlin@uic.edu: The textures on the people seem dull and plastic-like. The image could probably use more detail in the foreground, maybe some grass, twigs, rocks, etc. Rather than submitting several sparsely detailed scenes, try to put all of your effort into a single, richly detailed piece of art. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: The concept is great. The mood you create with lighting works well. The human figures aren't too bad either. The trees and theri textures were great. The image starts to breakdown from there. For instance, the ground should be uneven with organic material covering the ground. The figure on the right seems to be resting in space. Still l liked the look and feel. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good campfire. Gravity needs new batteries though, the people look as if they're floating in midair. ===== From ingo@freio.de: Hello, maybe you should check that the poser models are actually sitting on something in your scene. The lady on the right is kind of floating... Bye, Ingo. ===== From simplepsy@aol.com: I like the theme on this one.. an original aproach to the myth topic. I had to look very closly to notice the "lurking shadow". I feel that the children could have had a more tense apperance... (since poser would make this easy to do) to illustrate the terrifying tale. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: The ground, and logs in the fire look too (perfect). Also the tent should sag more instead of looking like straight planes. However, nice attempt. The shadow in the background is a good bonus to this scene. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The "shadow" in the background is a nice touch. The background photo integrates quite well with the rest of the scene... it's much less noticable that other background photos I've seen in rendered images. The fire looks good, but seems way too bright for the amount of wood. It could also use some smoke, and a ring of stones to create a "fire pit." ===== From file: Notable for lighting, originality ===== From file: If we took away the poser models and the distant trees, what's left? The floor is too clean. The trees are too straight. ===== From file: good interpretation of the theme Notable for originality
