Description
I decided to get a jump start on my first 2012 project (Seabirds2) and created a couple Diving Petrels. I used Nerd's "water disk" from his "Waves on the Beach" set added some ray tracing and reflective properties and got some pretty believable Poser water and good enough to share as a render.
Bird Facts: The Common Diving-petrel has discrete ranges surrounding oceanic islands in the south Atlantic at South Georgia, the Falkland Islands, Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island, in the south Indian Ocean, south and east of New Zealand (e.g. Antipodes Islands), and also on New Zealand's north island and Tasmania (Australia).
Very little is known of their range when not breeding, but they are thought to be fairy sedentary, remaining in coastal waters adjacent to their colonies. They catch crustaceans by wing-propelled diving, and are capable of diving to 60 m (200 ft).
