===== From fcueto@rice.edu: There's no explanation about the models in the image. I'll assume they're taken from a library instead of made from scratch. ===== From noe.falzon@tiscali.fr: A wonderful image ! It's magnificient. Congratulations ===== From Knight-Graphics@earthlink.net: A bit more detail in the foreground would be nice. Great artwork! ===== From tenmoons@aol.com: I like the idea of the puzzled birds. ===== From jminner@sc.rr.com: wow, this is a big picture ===== From simplepsy@aol.com: An amazing piece of work i'm sure. Great point of view, and textures. Unfortunatly the size of the image is prohibative, which greatly impacts the way anyone will see this. I cant view even a significant potion of the picture on my 1024 x 768 monitor. Due to this I cant grant the high technical merit I'm sure all your hard work would deserve. still great work. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: A nice image. A smaller render for this contest would be good, as well as some info on how you made it. ===== From uglycasanova420@hotmail.com: Very well done, great textures were used here. ===== From terraform@upnaway.com: good idea, composition and overall design. Keep it up. ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: Nice image, but you should have gone for the real thing: 14-Bis. ===== From corvus@onewhiteraven.com: nice to draw from the bird's perspective. Particularly like the translucent texture of the aircraft wings and the image mapping on the bird. Also need some normals or bumpiness to make it seem more realistic. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Please don't use an image that large. Not everyone has a 40 inch monitor - I had to scroll around considerably just to figure out what the image was. That said, the concept is great - juxtaposing the birds with the plane was a nice touch. The textures are well done and are credible. The geometry on the birds is overly apparent - needs more subdivisions. Still, a great image - well done. ===== From file: very nice image ===== From file: Notable for composition ===== From file: Good birds with the texturing but how did the plane get in the air with no engine or pilot Notable for modelling, composition
