Description
Vue 5 Infinite and PSP - Playing around with the new smartgraph function editor. Used it to make the dock textures. Took me almost a day to learn how to use it - but it's an incredibly powerful tool for creating textures and bump maps. Rendered using GI at 2000 x 1500 - took about an hour at Final quality

Excellent work in Vue 5 infinite! wish I had it...
Terrific Work.
Beautiful atmosphere and mood.. :)
Magnificent image, just as I like. Bravo!
Wow!! How ~Beautiful & Evocative~ Truly Fantastic... EXCELLENT!! v
Great camera angle and lightning. The material used for the dock looks very convincing as well. Your image seems to tell a story - very nice artwork! :)
Yeah, this is stunning. Fantastic. Besides the great rendering and composition, the hint of the model looking down toward the water adds a high degree of emotion - well done. Only things I don't like are the fake depth of field (or real?) because the clouds and ducks are in focus - and I don't like those ducks.. they're obviously repeated and detract from the image. (the model's a little thin, too!) but.. excellent, even with the nits.
Beautiful scene, very peaceful. Excellent work!!
this is Amazing Dave that water,the lighting and Victoria in all her glory.EXCELLENT!
WOW!!! Excellent, this image has it all, well almost; the dock posts needs some bird poop. ;-) Thanks for sharing.

Those dock shaders are fantastic! I've got to learn those functions too. The waves and foam look very natural, and the wet sand is brilliant. Awesome!!!
