   Speaking of defining a scenes elements I came across a site with a three
 part discussion on what makes a computer generated image photo realistic.
 While art doesn't need to be photo realistic to be good there are times
 when you do go for the realism and fall short because of the inherently
 sterile, overly accurate, nature of computer graphics. This article
 discusses what you whould look for in an image or if you are the person
 doing the modeling what things you should think about when designing your
 scene.
   Now you may be asking what has this got to do with judging the i.r.t.c
 contest are you ever going to get to the point Ken. Why yes I am. I found
 the article added a new depth perseption to my thinking in regards to
 scene layout and the importance of what key elemets to include. This
 applies as much to making an image as it does in evaluating one.

   With that out of the way I recommend that people reading this message
 take a little time to stop by the posted links below and see what the guy
 has to say on the subject.
