LOL, you are funny those frogs, my 3 year old yelled mum its the frogs again. Love how you included intstructions

Watch out for the train froggies!! Waves It's a good thing the train is late or we'd all be having frog legs right now. LOL! You really did match the depth perfectly and the sense of scale of the different frogs is amazing! I think I count about 213 frogs in total...well, at least five for sure...but I know there's more around somewhere cause they never travel alone. =) Most excellent techniques in play here! I really admire your firm grasp with the technical aspects of digital art! Super stuff! Viva les grenouilles!!

Excellent work! Thank you! :-)

I'm gonna try these firefly settings... I mean I'm use to long renders... but if my machine melts down... I'm gonna blame YOU!!!! LOL... I love your sense of humour in your images.. the frogs are a perfect charcter choice.

Superb lighting and mesh integration. I was just looking at your pyramid scene the other day and this kinda reminds me of that one. I always found getting the specular right was mostly unsucessful with IBL and HDR and had to make everything reflective. I'm not sure why E- Frontier can't implement it. Top notch.

Very funny and instructive! I count 5 of them. Great work!
fabriced

Well, this wasn't the kind of 'reward' for the frog I thought of... ;-) But lets hope no train will be coming! Cute scene, fabulous light and render! Perfect dof! I always appreciate the technical info that comes with your images a lot, thanks! Unfortunately my machine would crash with these render settings, I guess.

Great image!!!!!! Love your frogs!!! I wish I understood your tutorials for lighting better, they're excellent!
PapaBlueMarlin
Thanks for doing this image! I have such bad luck with DOF. It's good to know how to get a good result :)
kcorbett
ha ha ha You've done it again - made me laugh today. (smile) I'd say that with everything you've posted here, and what is on your site - it might be time to consider a book. . . . ;) And bless you for going after DOF. It's something everyone must/should learn. Kristi

I know what's happening.... they stole the latchworm eggs & are leaving them on the train tracks to be crushed! A scene from the remake of Bridge Over The River Kwai The wonder continues... & the learning Thanks so much Cath.

That frog needs to get off that rail! :) Excellent lighting.
lululee
Outstanding. Such quality. You are so generous to share your settings with us.

Ooh boy I hope that little frog gets off the railway line. The others all look to be worried too. A lovely little scene beautifully done and thank you for the tips too.
