Yes, it's true. On the internet, I'm a rather dull, mild-mannered digital artist, but in real life, I am actually Superfrog.
"Faster than a speeding dragonfly, stronger than a flathead catfish. Able to leap ten hungry alligators in a single bound. Look! Out in the swamp! It's a bird. It's a boat. It's Superfrog!"

For me, ideas are like butterflies that are flittering around by the dozens. Just grab one and render it, then move on to the next.
BIO:
I began 3D art with Bryce 3 in April 1999. Before that I played with various 2D styles and techniques. Back in the mid-70's and 80's, I worked in metal sculpture and had a line of "frog prints" selling in stores all over Southern California and Arizona. I have been in art in some capacity since childhood. Since the computer came along, I 've pr3etty much lost touch with brushes, pens and pencils which I regret.

I love the empty vastness of this. You are right no need to clutter up the scene, only man does clutter up nature with his whims.

Very well done. Anything more would be a risky step. I like this the way it is.

Excellent waves ... would love to know how you did 'em !

Knowing when to stop is as important as any other part of the artistic process. You got it right! Oh, I'd love to wander along this beach. I spent 24 years living beside the ocean, and now I'm in the middle of Canada, 1000s of miles away from the smell of salt and ozone. You gave me a wonderful memory moment.

Yippee the beach to myself!!! Excellent look to this. Agree with ocdoug!

your waves these days, wow! this really shows them off. i agree any more would be clutter. yet can't resist wondering what the sand surface would be like with just the tiniest hint of texture, real sand has microfacets and tends to sparkle, but it's almost below detection. and as the waves pull out, they leave little bathtub rings of bubbles and crud. more of that here in CA and very little in the Carib. i realize this is a tall order, so it's excellent as is! :-)

I love it! I too would love to know how you made the waves.

thanks folks for all the comments. I posted a minitutorial at the Bryce Forum, on doing the water in this image. Basically, there are two renders, mixed together in postwork

Awesome shallows. Looks just like the water at a resort I was at a month ago.

This looks a lot like a beach close to me. I love having the beach to myself. Just the sand, surf, sky. A little shoreline flotsom and sand ripples and it would look like a photo. Thanks again for the tut!
