Quote - Very nice! - thanks Robynveil :-) Out of interest, have you got some sort of focus blur going on there, relative to the background envsphere panorama image, I take it?

Thank you, MonkeyCloud. Actually, if there is 'focus blur', it's not by design.
Meaning: I just applied the image (HDR) to a 'skydome' (half a UV-sphere with a bit of the the top cut off as well), with Cycles material set to emission, strength at .5.
Camera focal length is set to 35mm, perspective, clipping 4cm to 1km (far beyond the reach of the skydome), DOF is all set to default settings (Distance: 0, Size: 0, Blades: 0, Rotation: 0, Focus set on nothing - or everything).

Sheesh, just noticed, Blender comes with a "Composition Guide" that you can superimpose on your view. How good is this, then!

Quote - Also, RobynsVeil, I looked more closely at the picture in the frame on the wall... that's not a Vue render too is it?

;-)

Actually, no, that too is Blender. :woot: The water is a 9-node material. The artist has generously made the scene available for study. You can colour me obsessed. I do realise this is a Poser forum, so I'm not going to try to seduce people over to the 'dark side' but jeez there is some cool stuff available out there. I'm just getting started: so far I haven't hit any walls - if anything, all I'm seeing is further horizons!
