Description
Smuggler's Beach
Created in TG2. I wanted to test out a new "surf zone" technique I have been developing. Additionally, I wanted to test the Global Illumination technique in more of a brighter day setting. This was the result. This image recenly made "Image of the Week" at Planetside (TG2's development site).

most excellent well done
Oh wow. That looks, well, real. Great image!
This is just insane. Show this to someone who has slept for 20 years and he'll tell you this is a photograph for sure. Excellent!!
five stars plus...agree with Tumasch!...how does the GI technique work?
Wonderfully creative.
A wonderfully constructed scene. It's up there with some of the quality matte paintings I've seen here at Rendo.
