Well, in that case, you owe us a reflective sphere on a checkered plane. ;-)

Hi Mike,
Any image in particular? I tended to vary just about everything when rendering.
Cheers,
Simon.

Most of the images I looked at appear kind of pastel or washed out. Are
you developing on a Mac?

Beautiful work! One of my favorites is your "Forest of Kannim"-- very ethereal,
kind of a (rendered version) of reality + fantasy, combined. A beautiful
concept, very nicely designed and realized. It reminds me of some of the best
Disney pre-production artwork, done by the old 'masters' there.
Welcome to the newsgroups!

They appear OK to me, on my CRT monitor-- good contrast, saturated colors, etc.
(Every now and then, I re-check my monitor to make sure that it's behaving
correctly-- especially the display gamma. Just a suggestion.) I had trouble last
year, viewing a PNG image in a newsgroup posting, thinking it was too *dark* ;
it turned out that I hadn't re-calibrated my monitor in awhile.

They look fine to me. My laptop panel is hard to adjust and viewing angle
dependent, but at the angle that I've adjusted my panel for, the colors appear
quite rich.
