Tide Pool Render Finished

I think this will be the last render.

It took about 36 hours to render at 6000x6000 pixels. I may do some cleanup in post, but NO MORE RENDERING!

Tide Pool progress - Almost Done

Ok. Had to zoom out a little to fit everything in. 

Also made it cooler color in the water. Added anemones and another shell. Worked on the shoreline foam. I think it's about done. Maybe a few adjustments on the water and sand. Still thinking about a rock wall on the left. What else?

Tide Pool WIP

I added the seaweed, a sea urchin, a horseshoe crab, a small school of fish, some random bubbles. I also moved some things around a bit and brought in the shoreline.

I think it's still getting better, but I don't want to clutter it too much. I still want an anemone or two if I can squeeze them in. The shell is getting lost; I need to boost the color and maybe add another shell. I also still want to churn up the water on the shoreline a bit more. Please keep the suggestions coming. Thanks!

The Star of the Pool

More work on the star...

I'm thinking maybe a horseshoe crab and/or some anemones. Maybe a fish or two. Seaweed? Any other suggestions?

Red Starfish

Here's where I'm at on the starfish. Added a lot of environment and better lighting. Oh and the starfish has red knobbies now.

I think I upped the realism quite a bit. I worked longest on the foam, but it's really subtle.

Blue Starfish

Here's a starfish I'm working on to go along with my seashells.

Colors and textures are not final. It has a skeleton (virtual) so I can reposition the arms easily. Any suggestions on coloring or environment?

Fantasy Shell

Went a little crazy on the colors. I kind of dig it though. What do you think?

Shell Part 3

Added some details for the final image.

Shell Part 2

Added some textures, thickness (subtle), and changed the shape a little.

It's still a little too clean. What do you think?
