Description
I wanted to play around with cheesecake and wetlook effects. I'm not totally happy with the interaction of the water and the figure, but I don't want to invest much more time in it. I tried postworking in ripples around her, but it just didn't work.
I did a lot of playing around with textures, and changing reflexions etc. I was originally going to composit a reflective version (for above the water) and a non-reflective (for below), and also a dry skin texture (for below, since it won't shine and you won't have droplets), but the water surface seems to do good enough of a job of hiding it. I think that next time I might try an actually morphed water plane.

Very well done. 5+.
Looks great to me. The problem in Poser is, you never can get realistic water effects here. :( Or only with hours of very hard work in the material room.
Well done!
An excellent and very well done render! (Water is never an easy thing to do well) Your hard work has payed off, since the water effect you have here, looks very realistic. Very well done!
The image looks great, but she does she swim relaxed or is she death?? The water is really perfect for a render!!
The water looks great!!!
Very good result considering its Poser! I admire your tenacity.I gave up struggling with poser to achieve good results for lights and things like water. Seems so much more natural in VUE
