Well, a lot of people have weighed in on the side of improvement, let me
weigh in as ambivalent.  I really like the panorama abd the new composition,
but there are a number of problems.

Did you forget to adjust the camera?  Both the blimbs and the station look
distorted and strecthed horizontally.  Was the camera and the render size
not in sync, maybe?

I think the mist is a step backwards.  It's now just a smudgy blot in one
corne.  Reduce it there and add some mist in the left corner again would be
my vote.

What's up with the green splotches?  If they're supposrd to be moss or
something, they don't work.  They're both too regular and too common in
color.  I'd expect lots of really small spots maybe, or something.

Going to the doubled deck again also doesn't thrill me.  The station looks
so much more majestic with only one set.

I really like the layout, though, but other than that, I think there were
several steps backwards in this one that need addressed.

Of course, I seem to be in the minority, so what do I know?

Geoff

Hmm.  Seems to be a factor of the Direction statement.  I'll fiddle with it.

I've already fixed that. :-)

Ah.  They're not mist but random detailing (like the yellow stuff on the
station's banners)  The problem was that they were scaled too small.  I fixed
that after I saw the render.

Well, you may be right.  I'll give it a try.

:-)  Quite a bit.

I agree with you, Geoff. In addition I really liked the striped sails on the
blimps. And is the antennae on top of the station different or is it just
the distortion?

(on a side note: though I have most often been posting criticisms lately
without positive comments, I really like the scene and enjoy this glimpse of
the development process)

Wow !! That's amazing

A couple of little things...

You removed the rocks from the waterfall. I think
takes 9 and 10 had the best waterfall (IMHO)
I agree with Geoff about the second deck. It looks
a little cluttered.

Maybe a flag flying from the top of the fortress.

Yeay! it appears that you like my moon suggestion :) I think you did it very
nicely. I was thinking a smaller moon, but this fits in well.

I like the pic. especially the clouds still.

Geep! How did you DO THAT!?! That is so cool! Has for the scale, can you
make a hang glider? And the Double Decks, I Like It! Could you maybe,
Possibly, Be nice enough to do an animation of the camera rotating around
the station? Please?????



P.S. WAY COOL!
