Description
Danielle shoots the waves during the 19th Annual Surf Contest in Hawaii. Fortunately, our render cam was there to catch all the action...And now back to you Jim.
Poser/Vue/Painter/Photoshop/Lightwave
Lot of Pre and Postwork on this one. The wave was created in Lightwave and then textured at render time. The hair, clothes, splashes and water waves were all postwork in Painter/Photoshop...Naked Vicky with ungarnished wave was rendered in Vue.
Comments and Suggestions are always welcome.
Thanks for looking and if you get a moment, please check out my other gallery entries as well.
