===== From skipt1@aol.com: A good scene and concept, but the modeling and texturing need much work. The actual sword itself is far too yellow to be a realistic metal or gold finish. However, it is a dramatic presentation. ===== From shevlin@uic.edu: The link to the topic is a bit weak. The lighting seems a little odd, and the water and waterfalls could use a little work. The yellow texture on the sword isn't very convincing and it appears to have some strange reflections near the waterline. ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: Nice concept and the composition is quite good. But you have to use different maps for your heightfields, using images of rocks or trees usually doesn_t do the trick. ===== From renebui@aol.com: The water doesn't work for me but trees are great. ===== From sshelby@shelbyvision.com: Mostly well done. The waterfalls could be improved, but don't ask me how. ===== From file: Wow! Notable for composition, originality, modelling, lighting, textures
