Description
The first time I used a 'Grey Scale Profile' (in this case a generated grey map in Terragen) as a basis for the landscape/mountains, instead of working with Skeleton lines.
The 'trigger' to do this was the last image of Capt Morgan (The Wall) where he mentioned this method.
Some spotlights on the river in an attempt to simulate reflections from the sky, still not completely satisfied with the water itself, removed a waterfall (no matter what I tried, it looked too terrible), 100% WB.

Another very nice image, with more excellent use of colour and lighting. I like the water, looks very natural, especially the way the colours blend with the landscape/sky. Glad you found my tip on "grey Scale profile" usefull. I too have found waterfalls to look terrible on stills. I would love to know if anybody has had some success with them in still images.

Yes! That is that what I like! But I can`t do it today - I will learning it the next time!

GJ! Thanx morgan for the greyscale tip! Waterfalls in WB are terrible. If you want to make a waterfall either use a 2D program (like photoshop), or you better get Maya!

This is beautiful ! I've not had much luck with some aspects of water either on still artwork.
