I think the scanner above the patient could do with some more work.

Comments, suggestions....

| I think the scanner above the patient could do with some more work.

To me this person is reflective, clothes and all.  Wonder if anyone else
sees it that way too?
I really like the scene overall though.  Do you use the adaptive aa or just
more aa method 1?  Asking because of the jaggies in the diagonal lines.
About the screen device, I was thinking a couple red and yellow lights
wouldn't hurt.  Or whatever else which might make it more than just a screen.

For some reason, this is starting to look like a charcoal drawing. Maybe
you need jitter on your area lights?

If that big gray thing is supposed to be a scanner, I highly doubt that 
it would have pipes extruding out from it which pass _between_ it and 
the patient.

In addition, if it's a scanner, then it probably deserves some funky 
lights on it (if only to light up the patient from above, so the 
physician can see clearly).

I'm also having trouble trying to visualise where the display is.  Is it 
located 20cm above the patient's head, or is it back about a metre?  
Regardless, it is in a location which would *always* get in the way.  
Why not relocate it to that curved bulkhead-type-thing-with-the-dial?

One last thing, about lighting:  You've got a (uniformly and very) 
bright medlab.  Have you considered dimming it down a bit, and making 
the light sources visible?

Apart from that, I like it.  I especially like the dangling 
pointy-thing.  Maybe I'm just sick.  ;^)

Henry.

It looks as if the skin of the "patient" is reflective, or has a thin plastic
layer.

Other than that: I love it!

I noticed this myself but I can't figure out what has happened, I added
reflection to all the surfaces in the room (it's all one texture) but not to
the figure, but for some reason it's gained the finish.  I'll have to
recheck the code, I'll try it without radiosity and see if it make a
difference.

You've lost me here, I am just using the default aa settings, 0.3 I think.

I'll add something to the screen.

Thanks,

I tried adding jitter but it looked like the whole scene was sprayed with
black paint spots.

Well its not just a scanner, but a complete med station with all equipment
to hand, but I do agree about the pipes, I'll have to do something about it

I like the idea of it having a light source, I'll try it.  I was going to
add some display light s as well.

I'll take a look at it.

I tried to get similar lighting as appear in the film Alien, the med lab in
that is bright and the light source seems to be the entire ceiling.  If I
put lights on the scanner I may try lighting the whole scene with just
those.
