There have been better lightbulbs in previous rounds.

Very nicely done!  This is like a study in effective texture mapping...
as well as a contender for the "most CPU cycles" award :).  I like the
way it was rendered as a display object rather than as a light simply  in
place -- the setting reinforces the notion that it is being honored for
its contribution to Engineering .

This is a nice mixture of textures and color choices.

The stucco background is very nice.

From sonya_roberts@geocities.com:
Nicely done.  From my own experience with modelling glass objects containing
lightsources, i think I can safely say that you'll find the non-hollow light
bulb won't look as good as the hollowed one, as it eliminates all those
time-consuming interior reflections and refractions that make an image feel
"real".  I like that wierd stucco texture in the background.

From chipr@niestu.com:
Very good coloring, texturing, and modeling.  I think you did the right thing
with the hollow glass--it would have looked funny otherwise.  And the lighting
works very well.

Interesting texture on the wall, I like it.
The glass is very realistic, but the wood and metal parts are not.

From arcana@sinbad.net:
I would have liked to have seen wiring going down into the base of the bulb.

From bobfranke@halcyon.com:
Great job on the light bulb and filament.  My suggestion for improvement is to
scale the wood grain smaller.  I also like the texture on the wall.

=====
From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Very good but suffers from too many sharp edges 
and plain surfaces. The glass and filament were very well done.

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
FYI: Thomas A. Edison did _not_ invent the electric light bulb (he didn't even
claim he had. He merely made modifications).
Besides, at that time, no-one used helical metal wire, but carbon thread.
Apart from these factual errors, a nice image :)

The object is fine, but the scene is a little short; could have been
accompanied by a candle,.. something to remind WHY it's a great engineering
achievement.

From lpurple@netcom.com:
This is a really good image. Can't think of anything that would improve it.

I really like the wall and the attention to detail in the bulb, but the base of
the bulb and the wood texture need more detail.
