===== From grimmg@hotmail.com: Where is Martin Sheen ? ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: The ships, while well modelled, seem placed haphazardly. In such close proximity to each other, I would expect them to be more-or-less in formation. Stars seem rather dense, like white speckles. Interesting point of view and alien writing. ===== From tgarwood@nwlink.com: I like the starfield and I like the Earth, but since when do aliens read Greek? ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Interesting idea... however, consider that if the clouds are at 10km altitude, that is still only slightly more than 0.001 Earth radius. The result is the offset between the water and the clouds should be less than 1 pixel on this image. However, you seem to have it at more like 20 pixels. Also, the cloud pattern needs a little more work. It is an effective planet. I really do like the image. The green display is a nice touch, for example. However, the planet isn't really Earth. ===== From east103@dialaccess.com: I like the transparent screen. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Interesting image. Well done. ===== From 101741.541@compuserve.com: Does aliens really use greek alphabet ? If so, it could make contacts easier... ===== From blaineholmes@hotmail.com: Cool alien display. ===== From clem@dhol.com: I'd like to know what the alien HUD says, but its Greek to me ! :) The idea of this image is ok, but the execution has some problems. The Earth is pretty, but the atmosphere (and clouds) are far too thick for the size of the planet. The HUD is a good idea, but it shouldn't have a visible box edge. The layout is good. The starfield doesn't work at all. It looks more like ugly Formica. A full black for the space would help, too. ===== From r@haka.saunalahti.fi: The saucers are nice and do establish some scale, but not enough as I have no way of knowing how big they really are. It might look better if the other ships were further away and if there were more of them, the most distant ones barely visible. The planet looks good, but the stars aren't very realistic.
