===== From skipt1@aol.com: Interesting concept but I would like to see the city surround the desert or have vegetation surround it to make it truly look as if the desert has been put away. Here it looks as if there is simply a big sand dune skyscraper in the middle of the desert. Unique nonetheless though. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Your idea might come across better if each floor looked different, since the many deserts of the world all have different colours and shapes, and certainly don't have identical dunes. Nonetheless, the idea is quite amusing, and the image is pleasingly surreal. ===== From AlaskaS@gmx.de: The idea is really nice. Why didn't you write a description of how it was made? :) ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Love the concept, although I'm not sure stacked & shaded dunes would remain desert for long... ===== From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu: An interesting idea for a picture. A little more diversity with the dunes between levels would have been nice. You also might want to lower the ambient values a bit and maybe look into some radiosity (my favorite feature ever). You've got some good textures, and I really like the buildings. Keep up the pov-raying and I look forward to seeing some more of your work in the future. ===== From ericf@foothill.net: I liked the concept, but I didn't feel the picture quite captured it, possibly for two rather small reasons. One, I would like to see more variation on the textures of the roofs and walls of the buildings, and maybe the sandrise should have stretched out beyond the vanishing point, so as to show something indeed big enough to hold all the sand it would need to. ===== From raytracing@grayproductions.net: Interesting comentary on our need to use every last inch of space. ===== From file: !!!!
