I do not know if I would make this a challenge, but here it goes. This was made with nothing but terrains and the Sky Lab! (and of course models) Thanks Susan! I am also looking for some comments/gripes/mysticl chants on the above picture. Tell me what you think to make this better! Tankred P.S. Maybe there should be another catagory of Underwater scenes?

The picture looks good and having done an underwater scene in Bryce myself I know the challenge. I want to know what texture you used for the fish? But if I had to say anything constuctive about the picture would be that I don't get the feeling of elevation in the water, it appears to me to slope to the back of the picture. Maybe bringing a terrain to the front and having it break the water surface will fix this. Hope that helps.

I agree with Deathbringer, although if you are deep underwater and cannot see the surface, then perhaps use some visible lights to "shaft" through and not make the background so "watery/wavy". If you look to closely, it almost looks like the surface of the water is vertical. Great picture, though!
