What do I think?! I think it's damn good. Are you using radiosity?

This looks very nice. I like your use of isosurfaces in your textures. Only
one thing is really bothering me about the image. That's the "bricks" used
to create the walls and floors. I beleive the eqyptians used molds and clay
to create their bricks, whereas these bricks appear to be crudely chiseled
from stone. If they did use stone, they polished it very finely (especially
for temples or anyplace of importance). I'm guessing from the ornate artwork
on the broken pilars that this is a place of some importance, so perhaps
smooth out the stone walls and create broken points into them (like you did
on the pilars - smooth, but with chunks missing). I would put the broken
points in the walls roughly corrolating to where these pillars might have
struck the wall when they fell.

Other than that one thing (and it really isn't anything big), I love this
image. Looks great!

FYI, this is a raytracing newsgroup, not photography.  :)

Seriously, this picture is very nice!
A small suggestion, if the light is coming from the sun (through a door,
whole or window), it would be really cool if there were dust particles
floating around and/or light beams.  After all, it's probably been buried
for thousands of years....

Wow, looks like you've iso'd everything, the shapes and textures look really
good.

if it's outside, the blocks would be weathered, if inside, not.  also
the floor should be really smooth since even ancient morons could make a
smooth floor.  just an oversight on your part i'm sure.  aside from
that, i really like it.  the worn thingies with writting is a neat
idea.  did you get the idea from somebody's brick and stucco or is it
your own texture from scratch?

You can add a bit of phong to the blocks to make them look a bit harder.

Liar! You've been using MegaPOV!
teehee
Maybe instead of noise3d, a granite pigment.

Tony,

Thanks.  I didn't use radiosity.  I've been experimenting it, but (so far)
it's been making my images a bit washed out and light.  I used an area
spotlight just off to the right.

D. J.,

Thank you.

There are a lot of historical problems in this picture.  This started as a
test image for testing the bricks (which I'm using for a primitive temple).
And image mapping on isosurfaces (for a different scene).  Since I was
working on them at the same time, I combined the two tests.

However, I liked the test image a lot.  I think I am going to strip out the
walls and floor and replace them with something a bit more accurate.  Pry
for this scene a roughened limestone wall with (partial) plastering would be
the best.  I will pry start reworking the image tonight.

Richard,

Thank you.  That is a good idea.  I hadn't thought of it.  This means I
should learn (finally) how to use media (for some reason, I can never get
the hang of media).  I will pry do some serious reworking of the image
tonight; I will have to do some experimenting.
