pahhh ! Is there any reason to don't love this pic ?
If you don't mind answering, how did you make the water reflections? They look like an overlay, but I'm not sure. The render looks really good also.
I'm not quite sure which water reflections you're talking about, since the reflections on the water are poorly visible due to ripples. Don't you mean the caustic effect? If so, that's easy! It is a point light source enclosed in a sphere, with an opacity texture that mimics the caustic effect (technically, it can be done without a point light source, but I'm not looking for easy ways).If you don't mind answering, how did you make the water reflections?

Don't say you are making a layer, or something like that, and play with it in PS ?I'm not quite sure which water reflections you're talking about, since the reflections on the water are poorly visible due to ripples.

That's my bad . I wasn't sure how to describe what I was seeing. I think I see what you mean though. Thanks for the response!I'm not quite sure which water reflections you're talking about, since the reflections on the water are poorly visible due to ripples. Don't you mean the caustic effect? .
Basically, you're right! It was my bad, I just immediately thought of the reflection ON the water.That's my bad . I wasn't sure how to describe what I was seeing. I think I see what you mean though. Thanks for the response!
Um, I'll be honest, I cheated a little bit. I rendered part of the picture with the caustic effect without the water plane (where they stand), because it interfered with the light passing through (from the position I set it in). And I rendered the water part of the picture separately and combined both parts in photoshop. I know many ways to do this more faithfully, but this way seemed faster to me at this point.Don't say you are making a layer, or something like that, and play with it in PS ?
That's what I say: insane skills, anyway, thanks for the explanation !Basically, you're right! It was my bad, I just immediately thought of the reflection ON the water.

Nice!!! My favourite character/model...
Very nice! That's whats-her-face from Hillside... very nice recreation and renders!
