Description
or sharks and fish :)
inspired by a shot I have seen on the net I had to give it a try and with critique from my friends finally got it to work - my first in depth experiment with the spline function in Vue :)
And yes there are some fish slightly above the water :) this is what they do, jump out of the water to irritate the predator on the chase :)
Thanks for taking a peek and may you have a fine weekend!

you've been watching Shark Week again on the discovery Channel, haven't you? Great scene Ulla!
Lol Mike, I plead not guilty in this case :))
superb birds eye view Ulla, what not inspired by shark week?? great job/that's alot of sharks.
Excellent render! Very well done!
Nicely done, and interesting to boot!
Having flown helicopters in shark infested waters a lot, this reminds me of the old times. One good Maco or Tiger Shark can dwarf the regular gray sharks. When the sharks get in a feeding frenzie, they turn the water white like an area that is boiling. Tuna fish do the same. One day we saw a white spot while flying so the skipper and I went to check it out. We were not sure what it was. Tuna boils the water but usually we can see under the surface with polarized glasses. This time we couldn't so we got down pretty low, about 50 feet or so, and then realized it was a bunch of sharks. All I could think of was "this is a bad time for an engine failure" so we got out of there as fast as we could.
LOL @Eric. And this is a marvelous achievement. GREAT work!!
Like the circling effect!
What an amazing image Ulla, it really turned out so great.
Wow.....
Way cool. That is a lot of fish to be placing aand moving aroud
This is very well done!Very realistic ! 5+
Wonderful work on this very cool image! Let the big dog eat!
Interesting experiment, and a great result!
Such a good render, showing natural behaviour. It's not often one actually learns something from a render.
Nice work
Original & creative, and fun :)

Wow, and wow again, this is fabulous. I thought it was a photo to start with as it is so well done. Amazing work with all the fish that are so naturally posed. This really is outstanding and so real looking.
This is stunning work ulla.
amazing work you did!
Yeah. If you had a shark nipping at your feet, you'd be shooting out of the water too! Heh! Splendid work, dear friend! Guess I'm going to have to check out the spline function myself.
cool scene, great pov, excellent work!
