Description
I was woken at 6am this morning with the sound of running water.....which is lovely if I'm in the back garden listening to the water in the fish pond.
However, looking through the bedroom window was not so pleasant. The water main in the road just in front of our house had burst during the night. Our neighbours garden was underwater!
Temporarily fixed - they're coming to fix it 'proper' tomorrow ... at 9am GRRRRRRRRR so I have to get up uber early before they turn the water off and start making an unearthly racket
AND the pathway and dropdown to our driveway has to be resurfaced as the force of the water pushed it all up about 6 inches.
OH DEEP JOY - NOT!
So it seemed ironic that this turned out to be an underwater scene. It grew to that after doing another 'hyper terrain' ( Dax Pandhi's tutorial) that looked like a barnacle encrusted rock and so the scene - if rather weird - evolved around it.
Wanders off mumbling and grumbling......

Exquisite render, Gill. I like the murkiness of the water, and your hyper-terrain barnacle rock is amazing!

That is dashed bad luck about the water Gill, at least none of your belongings are effected, at least I hope they're not and you get a new driveway to boot! Spoken by the eternal optimist! lol Steve ;o)

So the Vue-queen was forced to wake up at 6am, :))) And others rise at 6am every day except on holidays when we can sleep to 7! Barnacle encrusted rock! ;) But good for underwater scenes. Hyper terrain, metablob, displacement whatever, nothing work in the meaning that Vue never do what you want.. You end up drenching everything in ecosystems to hide all the faults.. -If you want anything special do it in zbrush. But for this scene it was perfect! I wonder who lives in the metal construction? Fantasy when it is best!

OH Gillie, so sorry to hear about your water woes. Do you have to boil your water? I am guessing that would be yes if the main broke. You poor thing such a pain. Great image. I love your caustics. Did you use the caustic generator? They are so realistic. Fabulous work.

Well at least the image turned out very nicely. Maybe a call to city hall from your attorney will result in the city or water company fixing your driveway cause believe me if you damaged their's they would make YOU PAY!!!

An awesome underwater scene!! but it sounds like you now have that experience :( I guess we are effected by our surroundings I too have done some of my weirdest work through (some what) tragic events. But nice work and I hope everything goes smoothly for you.
