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?

Underwater Empire

New update on an old render. I did about a year ago. I updated the colors--it was a little drab. I added sparkles to the sunbeams (hard to see at this scale). I also took out the focal blur so everything's in focus--I didn't think the extra depth cue was needed. Here's the before/after. I hope you agree that the "after" is better.

...Oh! And I added bubbles.
