Description
I've wanted to do a mermaid under water for a long time. Well here it is. Verdict is still out on this one so honest critiques are needed. Having no clue how to do an underwater scene, I simply turned Flink's water on its side and moved it in front of her then spent a lot of time working on lights. The question is: Does it work?

I like it! Very cool scene
WOW... Fabulous concept and fantastic creation... very very beautiful character ... I love this one my friend !!!
I like it, the water looks okay to me
A beautiful render.
Brilliant idea! I love the effects you've used! Well done!
Very beautiful mermaid, she is very gracious, and nice underwater scene, excellent image!
I think it works fine, Terri! I tried something similar and you're right, getting the lights to work is not easy. I like that it looks like it does - not clear. Gives her an air of mystery :)
I think it works too, great job.
Clever. I'll have to try that. ")
I think it looks great! well done!
Very good work! I think there is a volumetric lighting script for Poser somewhere that may give you the underwater lighting effect a 3D program would have but you've done a LOT with this one here.
A bubble or two would've been the icing on the cake Terri apart from that it looks great! super volumetrics my friend!!
I think it is excellent! I have a very hard time with underwater scenes personally.
It works perfectly! The fuzziness and the lighting show off very well the underwater environment, which is always darker and less visible than the earth environment. Moreover, the blue colors are wonderful and the mermaid has a very stunning hair and a nice pose. It's a fantastic creation!
Love it great job!!!
very pretty underwater adventure.
I think you did a great job. Very nice scene. Rick
I think it is fantastic, beautiful mermaid, love the posing, outstanding work!!!!!!!!!!!!
great concept and fabulous creation...splendid lighting !!!
I like the diffuse lighting. It is soft and the mermaid is very well done.
wonderful image
She's very beautiful, great job!
Lovely image. Well done!!
Great underwater feel, and it's fun to do mermaids;) I haven't used Fink's water so not sure how it works but looks great to me;)
Ohhh......Adorable pose and character, superb undersea scene my friend, well done!
VERY cool!!!!
What a beautiful scene. I love mermaids. Excellent work.
Beautiful water effect and character, Very well done!!
I think it works very well. I'm not familiar with Flink's water, but if you can adjust the transparency in the material room you should be able to play around with different effects.
Works good! I have never been able to get an underwater scene to look good. Excellent job!
