===== From witoslaw@kki.net.pl: Well, your method of creating water is really creative! I would just burn some hydrogen in a big blast! The rasult is water or water vapour. And how are these electric arcs formed??? I'd better quit swimming or I might break some atoms apart and get badly burned!!! ===== From jerry@hoboes.com: Nice blue tint to the scene. Good use of media. It looks like the container object on the left is clipping your haze, though. ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: I like the glowing arcs between the atoms. They add a lot of life to the pic. ===== From pmccombs@hotmail.com: Light effect worked well. ===== From vogelap@email.uc.edu: Marginally follows theme, but beautiful to look at. ===== From paul.flanzy@jouy.inra.fr: I think you're not relly interpreting the topic "Water" but the topic "electricity" I see we have the same problem dealing with media in povray 3.1 the solution seems to be : use a very low emmitting media sensibly about 0.001 with multi-densities this avoid very white piece of material you can refer to my own zip file for un example in 00pfboat.inc ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Well, "solid H2O" is usually referred to as "ice", and it is easily created in your deep freeze, without any fancy sparks at all :) Well, you can't just "blow up" a water molecule, and in the atomic scale that H and O atoms exist things do not "look" at all. Every description of their appearance is only an incomplete model. Also note that the H-atom is _much_ smaller than the O-atom, in fact, the two H-Atom-nuclei (single protons) almost disappears in their electron orbitals they share with the O-Atom. Other than that it's not a bad image and the superficial resemblance of a water molecule is still there, of course :) ===== From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu: Ok image, but I had to read the text to get the connection to water. Even _after_ reading it I'm having trouble. Why do hydrogen atoms need little quantum tripods to hold them up? ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Very nice, but needs some background scenery to cast shadows, the "alma mater" of raytracing. Anyhow, original and well composed and a good first media try. ===== From Varyk@aol.com: I look forward to going over your source, I'm just starting and haven't= figured out media yet. Other than the fact that you use electricity to break water down into h= ydrogen and oxygen, I like the look of this scene. One problem is that t= he spiral is reflected in the lower left sphere but not the lower right, = and maybe a highlight of some sort on said spheres would have simulated t= he reflection of the arc. The signature is intrusive. That said, a powe= rful image but not too watery without prompting from the text. ===== From djohnston@iname.com: I like the glowing and it is an interesting depiction of the water being created. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: How about making your copyright notice bigger and putting it right smack in the middle of the image? Seriously, the words are much too distracting, and almost destroy the image. Good modelling on the spiral structures, and a nice electric feel to the scene. Good stark color scheme. Very clever dual-scale concept to the scene. ===== From r@tk156239.telekabel.at: Notable for originality, composition ===== From r@tk156239.telekabel.at: Now, this one is cool. Good use of media!
