Description
Hello everyone and thanks for looking...
For todays image, I decided to play around with Vue a little bit. In one of your comments I got asked to do some more water/underwater scenes, and this is what I came up with first. More Vue work to come later.
This turned out to be a lesson in how Photoshop works, because I wanted to get a concentric ripple effect in the water, and Vue doesn't do that easily. I found a tutorial online that showed me how to use the "Zig Zag" filter in Photoshop, and that seemed to work okay, but I think I'll need to play around with it a little more to get a believable effect.
And the splash is a Photoshop brush.
Does anyone know how to get a good water ripple effect, either in Photoshop or in Vue???
Hope you like it. Have a great weekend.

Tom, this looks great! I love the reflections (I've no idea how to do them), the shadows and especially the water and splashes.
Amazing! A wonderful pic Tom!
you get it any closer and those who look at the image will get wet. great image
Makes me want to go swimming! I think you did a great job with this!!
Cool scene, fantastic lightning and water effect!
In Bryce I used to use terrains mapped with a glass mat (because they render faster than the water mats for some reason) and I would Paint the ripples with the terrain editing tool. Tada! In Photoshop it's not quite as easy, because of how the reflections have to be calculated, and because it's at an angle it takes more fussing. The Liquify filter works the best, IMO, select, click on Liquify, use the push tool to move the reflection up and down in the shape you want. Because it's tricky I use the filter on a duplicate layer, in case I hate the end effect (you can't really see it in the preview). I don't know about you, but I am ready for summer;)
Lovely pin-up and effect..nicely done!!
Going with a little T&A today, nice! Ripples have always plagued me.

Very beautiful pin-up scene my friend, excellent work.
beautiful she is tom, very nice chest!!
Lwperkins has the best suggestions for ripples, I'll have to pop up my copy of Vue 8 (demo) and see what the view editors are like, but basically, you need to add ripples in the terrain editor, or maybe you can add them as a displacement map.
fantastic!!
This is such a beautiful image Tom, you really made my day with this one.
W O N D E R F U L I M A G E !!!!

Very good portrait! The expression of the water is splendid.
Great water effects tom and your lighting is perfect u did awesome work on this...Bravo!!...:)
An awesome image. Your skills with Vue and photoshop are excellent!
This looks great! You can do a ripple effect in Photo-shop using the flood filter from Flaming Pear. It also gives reflections. You jut adjust it ti suit your own preferences.
