Description
When we last left our family of dolphins in Dolphin Fantasies III, the little one was just born. Now he's out on his first date, exploring the coral and kelp in the heat of the day, but the cool of the water.

Thanks for your support. I really miss you guys and wish I had more time to stop in more than I do. Hope all is well in your worlds. I see Rosity has changed quite a bit recently as well.
Vue/Poser
This image has no postwork, rendered in Vue4Pro, with elements from Poser 5. I like the material editor better in V4P than V5I, because it's what I'm used to and given the limited time I have to do images, was the best tool for the job since it didn't need the new V5I features.
The lights are done with a spotlight with a caustic gel (WCAUSTIC.BMP from the scenery directory) works the best. It is also volumetric, which gives the light rays.
Not a particulary complicated render, but Vue does such beautiful rendering.

Glad to see your return. Don't be such a stranger. I just did a water image also. Very cool and rather difficult to make such a realistic under-water scene. Bravo to you. I still can't get the water ceiling to look this good. Big thumbs up and hope all is well in your world! Dave :^) V
