The bridge model comes from 3D Attic, which has since gone out of business. The boat came from playing around with Amorphium.

The landscape is not as dramatic as I first envisioned, but I like how it all came together.

Most images have one thing that slows progress. Everything falls into place except the lighting, point of view, or as in this case waves. It took forever, but I am glad I stuck with it.

I wanted to keep this one simple and elegant as the subject. The clouds resisted remaining simple, but the effect worked just as well.

I would finish images sooner if I didn't keep putting in detail that doesn't even show up in the final image. For example, the rope texture and frayed end, coconuts on the beach, and the sunburn on the legs.

This gallery needs more adventure.

Whoa, vertigo... I like this one.

I found one!

I used Bryce's terrain editor to create the bridge, and the ivy. This image might animate well with GT Ripple.
