Description
I decided to make a more dramatic landscape (or seascape) render than I usually do. I used an HDR as light source and background + the sun and True Ambiance. The HDR was a 'beach-probe', that can be found here (and at other places): http://www.pauldebevec.com/Probes/. The bird was in a 3DS set that I found here: http://www.crazy3dfree.com/Model/Flying/Bird-3d-model.html. You can import the 3ds object as one group and then ungroup them (and save each separate bird in your library). The terrains are all made from a grey-mapped and filtered photo, used as basis in the DTE in Bryce. Rendering in premium with 64 rays per pixel and True Ambiance.
