Thanks for all the hints. I try to find clothes for Vicky, but I didn't find the right ones yet. This is a picture from a fantasy story I'm working on and the girl should be a simple citizen of a nearby village. So a simple cloth with maybe a rope round the waste would fit here. As I wanted to work on the look of the skin a undressed girl was fine for the start. The skin looks okay to me now, maybe softer shadow could improve the image. I like the idea of multiple water planes, but I work on an 350MHz Pentium III with 192 MByte RAM. So theres not much power left for complex images. Scaling of texture: As I understood I have to increase the frequency of the texture to get a good looking object when I make close-ups. I thought this slider would help, hmmm. I'll try the hint with the water. Used a predefined Bryce5 texture. I will try some tweaking about it. Thanks and further hints are welcome...
