Description


I made this for a recent monthly contest in the Bryce Community here. I tried as much as possible to make all the organisms accurate to the location. The Coral trout (large red and turquoise) I made by buying a coral trout from my local fish market and photographing the fish before I cooked it. In photoshop a create a greyscale of the outline of the fish and lighten and darken this appropriately to get the thickness of the fish. I used this greyscale to shape a Bryce symetrical lattice and put the photograph on it as a texture. I made the moon wrasse (2nd Biggest fish) and the little yellow fish to the right by a simmilar method, but I got the original images by photographing pictues in a book. The sea wasp (box jellyfish) and the sea weeds are simarlarly constructed except I 'drew' the images in photoshop & Illustrator. The water ripples are a a terrain shaped using Kai's power tools texture explorer. The shadows were made by placing a semi transparent 2D plane of black areas just above the water. The foreground is a photomontage of my own old scanned photographs.- Ken

mmm...good but.."but" needs reflected and refracted light thru the water...try putting a lightsource with no falloff above the waters surface to give a rippled effect and reduce the transparancy of the water your scene is contained in,,,what?..no water volume ..tsk :) contain the scene in a volume of water and fiddle about for a while..i hope this helps ...because otherwise its very good. im having similar probs with mine;) its always the atmosphere in a scene like this that makes or breaks it and a little tinkering with the deep texture editor will bring much joy...keep up the good work and feel free to message me
