      My wife and I long ago hitched as far as Townsville then to the Outback and Darwin.

      Oh wow. Mackay might be where a truckee took us home for the night. Unbelievable how hospitable Aussies are! We stayed with people a lot on the way. Barbies, XXXX, INXS and all.

      If I am right the period you were in Aus, this song may bring back memories πŸ˜‰

        Nice lighting rework. Great result.

        These boats lack reflections in the water and the materials applied to them seem too diffused. Whereas the sailboat behind I want to see more than these more prominent boats.

          That is a limitation of the App, but a good point

            Does it not support screen space reflections or reflection probes? It should because its based of the UE engine.

            Reflection probes would lift this great render even further.

              I have corrected the issue but not with reflection probes as that reflection would not conform to the surface of the water. And thanks for your input It is very much appreciated another fresh pair of eyes πŸ˜‰

              I will post the result soon

                    Thanks Bryan, It seems the last 10% of the quality of a render takes 30% of the effort. I got lazy on this one as Rich pointed out. I saw those issues and chose not to fix them. My bad πŸ˜‰

                      The last 5% takes up 95% of your time...

                      That said, you are in the <1% of the people in the world with the ability to produce compelling CG based imagery. Just look at the difference from original to to latest!

                          Well said. If I saw this picture without any other references, I would swear it was a photo and spend some time trying to determine if it was real or CG. (just something I do out of habit with all photos these days as part of trying to improve my own skills)

                          Again, well done L i am! πŸ‘
