Hi, my name is Karl Stöcker, and I was born a long time ago, way too long, in Berchtesgaden, Germany, grew up in Düsseldorf, and since 1966 have been in the US (mostly). I've traveled a lot, 46 countries by this time, and I am planning on many more. I've spent a couple of decades in the US military, active and reserve, and since retirement from civil service, worked off and on as a high school science teacher in a suburb of Sacramento. Ever since my original ID's Doom days, back when it was just released on a floppy disk as a free level advertisement, I was interested in learning about 3D CGI, but I didn't get started until I retired from civil service in 1996. Since then I have been working with Truespace, Bryce, then Lightwave 3D, and Vue. Also dabbled a little in Poser 4, but just bought Poser 6 and am starting sink my teeth into that a bit. My website, http://www.cosmic-pearl.com/, has more details on me, should anyone not be bored to tears by now, also there are LW Viking ship and Star Wars X-Wing tutorials, as well as downloadable meshes (which can be imported into Vue, BTW) - my free stuff to the CG community.

Excellent. I like the effect of an expansive vista in this image, especially in the larger view.

Great POV and the double Sun's are a great touch, I could use that extra heat about now !...Toto, we're not in Kanas anymore, sorry Karl, just had to say that ! :giggles: Nice overall scene, IMHO the water level seems a fraction low, where the reeds touch the water, otherwise it's perfect ! ~Cheers~ :o)

Great again! Perfect water effect.

Thanks all. However, as Jeff already mentioned, the waterlevel is bugging me too, however, another 20-hr render had already been underway to correct that. As of tonight, it's happily reposted and I am now pleased with the result.

Simply put superb work on this one, I love the reeds and marsh int he foreground. I've seen the model from sci-fi meshes, is this the same one or something new?
