Waking Up was born on June 2000. It's my first image completely realized and rendered in 3D Max without any touch-up in Photoshop which I used only setting color levels. It took me several weeks to end the work. As I was never satisfied of the fog I decided to add a combination of Volume and Layered fog. Also water was a hard task as I wanted it fading into the background-bitmap, but finally I think to have achieved a pretty good result ! By the way, what I really like in this picture is the feeling of uncomfortable sense of freedom: the Lady of the Lake seems to wake up from a deep sleep....body of crystal, looking outside.... a gate.....opened ....can she really get out from there? All comments are welcome. :) Dusk
