One of my best loves is WATER... I live to swim, ocean kayak, surf, ski, snorkle, white water raft/kayak, sail.... the list goes on. But I have never been able to capture the dynamics of either ocean or river water. I would like to open a chalange if I may.... I cant imagine doing this with NO POST WORK, but please prove me wrong. Show me what you can do.... please!

Hi I've been a ww kayaker for 25+years, it's one of my great loves, very few people get to explore the power of water in quite the same way as sticking a little kayak in a big river!

I agree Gog_CA1. We here in California have some FANTASTIC rivers . The older (maybe wiser) I get the more respect I have for the power of mother nature and water, this is NO amusment park ride... its down right dangerous. But there is beauty in the poished bolders, cascading waterfalls, swirling eddy's and haystack waves... do you have a render for us?

None of my spirals would give me a wave...so here is a denizen of the deep instead!  Sorry for no feedback earlier but the conversion has had us all hopping!

Out of curiosity...what's the finish date on this one??

 

Gods need mortals to believe in them or they die, if gods die are they not mortal, and if they are mortal...why then do we call them gods??.

There is no end date... this is just an open ended challange. I kinda just took it upon myself to post this challenge... hoping some of you would enjoy this!

Cool...I'll see what I can come up with.... I take it we can use any programme or indeed none if we choose? eg, the good old fashioned paints box and brushes....

Knock yer self out.... give us your best try (maybe you can even tell us HOW you did it!). I'll even embarass myself and try again...LOL
