Description

I've been spending some time down by the pond even though the weather in my part of the Southern Hemispere has been cooler than usual for this time of year. Global warming anyone? It doesn't seem to have affected these fish though. All the vegetation (except the two big trees) was made with G3D Twig. Background cloudscape is Terragen. Everything else is tS 5.1 Any feedback most appreciated.

Very misty and blue! A little too clean though My suggestion would be a second plane layer lower in the water with a transparent darker murk (eg; modify the TS Fireball material with darker greener colors) and more dead leafy debris (ground clutter, you already have lots of foliage). Lighting: try really-really-low Inf light (colored maybe?try Greenish?) on the shadowed side (with shadow off) this helps in making the scene look like a radiosity solution, Then lower the direct lighting and you will see more control in your mood/atmosphere. Good starter tho! Work it Stephen, work it... ;)

Nice one Stephen, its a very peaceful looking place. The one thing I would say is that I would try a very subtle bump map on the waters surface to break up the reflections a little. :o)

Thank you to all for the feedback. Special thanks to Magnatude, your comments have got me experimenting with infinite lights in a way that had not occured to me before. Madmouse I found that even a very subtle bump messed up the reflections more than I liked. Thanks for the suggestion though. Bluti - thanks for a great laugh - I'm a sucker for 'pun'ishment
