Ship, sand, and some basic lighting created in 3ds max.
Caustics, streaks, and compositing done in Photoshop.

I spent about 4 days trying to get the caustics to render properly and while I found a lot of ways that I shouldn't do it, I didn't have much success getting the water to actually make caustics onto the boat, so I ended up painting them in manually.

I made this for a game my company is having me make new art for to modernize it. I'm pretty happy with it overall, I just wish I'd had more success with doing the lights in max. Oh well, next project. This one was almost out of time. :D

May I use this image as part of a movie I will be posting on my website to promote a book I hope to publish?

I used this picture as a reference on my piece here. [link] It saved my life. What I did was color over it, tweaked the colors, and added a texture so I wasn't taking your piece of work and claiming it as my own. Thanks so muchness!!!! :D

Great picture.

It's at the bottom but with the sunlight shimmering it feels so close to the surface.

I'm impressed. Good art work. But I'm surprised 3DMax can't handle caustics. Unfortunately 3DMax is out of range for me. Sometimes in my company the use for private renders are possible.

Caustics and reflections are good features in Vue 6 and easy to use. Got my version some weeks ago and I'm impressed.

Hope to see more of your work.

Oh, it can handle caustics just fine. I just had too tight a deadline on it to allow time to experiment enough to get a good result!

A lot of the lighting was done in Photoshop, after struggling with getting it to look right in max first. Good luck with yours! Let me know how it goes!
