This is a still I was working on for the IRTC back
in March 2001, but I got too busy with other things.
I started working on it again in the last couple of
weeks, I'd sure appreciate any comments or
suggestions.

Nice scene. I especially like the bricks what are they isos? CSG? The only
suggestion I have is change the tree at the top of the picture, it's very
hard to see the trunk so it kinda looks like its floating in the air, either
reposition it, change the colour of the bark, or light it differently so the
trunk becomes more visible.

Nice pic.
But I think there are some proportions that aren't right.
The pump looks too small in relation to the bricks.
My suggestion would be to use more bricks to make the well so that their
size is smaller.


Best regards.

Thanks JP. I'll review the proportions and try to
get it balanced. Thanks for your help.
Have a great day!

Nice, indeed. The well looks already very good. I guess
you are using a sky_sphere for the clouds. Maybe you
should consider a plane for the cloud texture (or the
stackered sky technique) so you will get a more realistic
appearance of the clouds above the fence.
