Tear it apart for me.

Are you kidding? There is nothing to tear apart on this, it's amazing!!! The octopus looks a little "bent" to me though!! I'm new at this and wondering how the hell you can do stuff like this!! WOW! Ashlyn

Actually looks rather Awsome. If you were to hold a gun against my head & demand a critique, I might say the large murky vacant area across the top dissipates the impact slightly, Perhaps the lower edge of a fish swimming by in one corner, blurred by proximity, to accentuate the Depth & frame the forground. Dunno if it might be worth trying? Love the dim silouette's in the dim distance!

It's very good AS IS, so be sure to save a copy out to separate media now. (At least we digital art, we don't kill it by overworking it.) I'd leave the quiet areas at the top. Nature may abhore a vacuum, but artists need to be subtle. It calls attention to the activity on the bottom. I like the way you replaced that too-new barrel with a much-more-interesting crate! Whatever is in there has our interest. The only thing I'd work on is the octopus. It needs either a better texture map (making a UV map for it will probably be a pain, though) or slightly better curves to the leftmost leg. It looks pretty stiff at that angle. It is wonderful work.

I think it's great. I have tried and tried, and I just absolutely cannot get an underwater scene to look right. I can't figure out how to get the water to look like water. Was this rendered in Bryce or Poser? I've messed with under water in Bryce and have just dismally failed at it. Everything turns a sickly blue or so dark you can't seen the objects. How is it done? With lighting? What? I'm so curious. Melanie

Oh, the only critique I can think of is to use some different types of fish. It looks like there's only one kind down there. Melanie

Not much in the way of helpful advise but I do want to chime in and say this is very very good. The air bubbles are wonderful also. I feel like I should be holding my breath just looking at the picture. :o) Rob

well, I think it's great too. Not sure how deep you want to be here. But, since there is plant life, I would say you might need some caustics to represent light coming down and onto some surfaces. I figured out from various tutorials for Bryce, how to do that and I do have a few basic scenes set up for it if you want to see them and how they are done. You would just need to tell me how to send a PZ3 file to you (can I zip it up and send it with winzip? anyway...feel free to let me know... just a thought anyway, not really absolutely necessary... :)

WOW !! You guys, and ladies, really like this? Well I don't know what to say, Thank you ALL. The program I used was MojoWorld Near Space, from Pandromeda. Never before have I been able to do such a scene in Bryce, as Melanie said above, I too always got that sickly dark coloring. I suggest you all check out Pandromeda's web site. For a limited time you can get, I think, $50 off the price of MojoWorld. And even without the discounted price, it's well worth the attainable price tag. Once again I would like to thank 'Mitch' for his great diver model. He has some realy good stuff on his site. Check it out at: http://www.mitch3dseite.de/
