@Stuart: That’s a real nice image, though I didn’t see the fuzzy water until Horo’s post. What I did question is the softness of those rocks. Because of their location, being eroded by water, wouldn’t they have a real sharp appearance? I love the banding of those rocks on the right. That’s a nice touch. And perspective, because boat size to rock size, really turned out nice.
Where you say you want to add ripples, looking again at the image, that’s a very sheltered area, if the main body of water is off to the right. I don’t think you see ripples as easily because of the suns’ position. And because there isn’t a reference like you have with the main mountain reflection. I think you’d see ripples only if any underwater structures were prominent so their images could be broken by motion.
Drip, Drip, Drip. on this one. It had a bluer version of this one but I selected “All” and tried the rose water look. came out pretty good?? The splash is 2 boolean blended. the ripples I used terrain with my own molding. Something like the splash took lots of trials and error to make it look somewhat right.
@canyon: That’s a real neat image. As I looked at it I could also envision an extremely large crater on some planet with a strange crystal structure at its center. Or an extreme closeup of a warriors’ shield. Nice job.
Thanks for the input. The “Long Walk Home” is very nice. home on the hill is something I like to try but still working on the basic. I haven’t tried Horos particle emulator yet. to make a better ‘splash’. Tools that I could pick up and use. I agree with Horo on the water and the Pelican, change the sky? to argue from another thread. Intel is best BUT AMD is affordable. I currently have Phenom 2x4 and 12g mem. working fine but slow O-well will upgrade soon. Thanks Terry. P.S I live Here. Even if this is not a render I will love to try to put my “backyard” in one
