Description

Made with Terragen. Only postwork is white surf at sharks fin (and sharpen, brightness/contrast). At high tide some of the big old sharks come into the shallow waters to look for pray. If some of the sharks look a bit like rocks then this is because they are very very old sharks ;-) Thanks to pulsar69fr (Philippe) for telling me about dxf to bmp conversion etc., to Chikken (Tom) for telling me about 3ds Max etc., to LutzB (Lutz) for telling me about overlays etc. and to FredBezies(Frederic) for telling me about VM terrains. Comments are welcome

That looks big enough to be a Carcharodon megalodon, I hope "no swimming" signs are posted. I can only hope you plan to write a tutorial.

Shallow Waters This picture took me a long time to make, mainly because of a lot of trial and error.. but it was much fun to do.

arthez: Ha ha .. so you expect great ideas from me? I will try (sometimes) to live up to it. The colors. Yes, I tried both some new coloring and high contrast atm.
Golog: .. o_O ... ha ha .. yes. I my self are very afraid of sharks when I swim, and glad that my TG sharks looks terrifying to you :-). Kind words regarding idea, surface and water also.
