Technical aspect is important: it's 3d modeling, not simply generating a single 2-d
projection. Thus illusions like billboarding are less impressive to me. However,
there is elegance in simplicity, and I don't expect that an image, if "finished", is
less than a magnus opus. Of course, a magnus opus is also fine.
With this view, I like:
2: artfully done, effectively textured, nicely modeled
4: I love the texturing!!!
7: just captivating
11: brilliant rendition of a classic subject, and a claimed first image by the author!
12: amazing construction, and extremely well textured

Even so: I heard from other post that Wings3D comes with a ply importer, or
have I heard it wrong?

My version appears not to have this plugin, although there may be an external
plugin or additional plugins in the most recent version.

It would be *technique* at the service of *beauty*, or the *beauty* of
*technique*... Whatever the case, imo both should be considered.

Yes, I have self-limited!
They could be 40...
In fact, for me, almost all the images would be HOF!
