My real name is Jeff Scott, and I live in a small suburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma. I work with and around computers for a living, and it continues to amaze people that I can work on a computer for 9 or 10 hours a day, and come home and stay glued to one for several hours at night.
BIO
I got involved with 3d graphics waaaay back in 1990 with 3dStudio. Despite a change in career paths that took me out of the computer vendor realm, I persisted and found ways to make my love for 3d graphics and architecture mesh in with my current job.
One quirky thing I did was took the office floor plans for a 20 story building, and built a Quake deathmatch arena, which several of us would play over the network. Nothing like fraggin' somebody when they're coming out of the coffee area!
Several years later, I discovered Bryce, and, well.... things haven't been the same since. I've been using Bryce for a little over 3 years now, and have moved on to Poser, Rhino, Cararra, ZBrush and several other apps as well.
I have a very one-sided brain, so I couldn't do an abstract if you put a gun to my head. Hence my addiction to landscapes.
I like to help folks out when I can, and stir the fires now and then too. I joined Renderosity a couple of years ago, and have been here since... hopefully for a long time to come.

That almost looks like my driveway after the last flood.

You did a very good job with the actual rapids. It is hard to tell which direction the current goes and also the division between still water and fast moving/shallow is way to abrupt. If you look at most moving water ways, there is a V known as the tongue. The rocks, ground, and small plants are really good. You might want to work on the shadows. It looks a little flat like high noon.

Frankly I think it rocks :) pun intended.

I think you did a great job on the rapids. Is it a texture or a post effect?

jas, the rapids are a water texture applied to a terrain. Sorta experimenting around.
