Thank you gentlemen.

Hot tips? Hmmm....get the chocolate cake with mint ice cream. Much better than the flan. 😛

Oh, sorry. I don't know if they are hot tips. I set the focal length of the camera to 75mm, the aperture to 2.8 and because I think the aperture should be polygonal, I set it that way with 8 blades. Don't really know if that makes much difference in this case. Probably not.

Just play with it and be patient. Reduced DOF seems to increase render times substantially.

Good luck.

Thanks and yea I need to work on the shaping of it but I hope to fix it up and get it finished soon. 😉

Yes, I remember that model, too. Keep up the nice work, Tomislav! 👍

I downloaded squrlz again http://www.snapfiles.com/get/sqirlzwater.html on the Win side of my Mac and thought I'd give the new version a quick run. I hope you don't mind but I used your Pool Scene and came up with the attached. Thought I'd send the results to you. BTW, I only did a quick 30 sec job. I'm sure there are far better results to be had on the trans end of thing with some more time spent.

Mike! What a fun little program that is.... My husband noticed that there should have been ripples around the waterfall also....

Pool Ripples

Thank you to everyone else for the comments 😄 I'm going to do some other versions... daylight with a more "playful" atmosphere. I will post when I get it done.

edit. siika siika!

Thank You for interesting for Tvrdja and yes I am stell working on Tvrdja.

Golly gee, very nice comments. I see a lot talking about the sky and atmosphere. SO, I had nothing to do and made a video of me creating the sky. Now, I really just wanted to play with Camtasia. As for the video its hard to see exactly what I'm doing, so I'll explain. Simply 2 steps. First I place a gradient fill that is purple'ish and orange, then I selected a photograph of a sunset and set it to 50% opacity and placed it. Pretty simple.

Here is the video

Pete these are great images and nice technique.
I have never really completely understood how HDR's worked. I use Kerkythea and I have found that it is difficult if not impossible to position the HDR or global (are these terms interchangable?) The scale nevers appears to be correct and there dosn't seem to be a way of adjusting.
Good work man 😎

Very nice Solo looks excellent. 👍 👍

Yes , some well assigned materials to the object would make this even more awesome.
Very cool.

It's Glastonbury Tor in the South West of England.

I am pleased that You like that model and I can send You sketchup model but it about 7 meg big, can You send me your privat e-mail adress?

Yes, I have to agree. When you compare price, Indigo is worth more for the bucks.
Indigo needs more sky+sun control (seperate sun strength slider?) , but otherwise, the quality is really good.

Very impressive Tina, I like the way you handled the reflections.
You will have to give us a step by step when you have some time
to spare.

Mike

Very nice, indeed! And I agree: the view out of the window was a nice surprise.

Here's one of the photo-merges in photoshop. Still not 100%. I really wish people would let me finish one project at a time, lol. If only the world were perfect.
