ground with worldmachine.

Good week end.

Very nice iridescent fish skin, but the fins look too much like plastic.
Great job, overall!

I don't think the water surface should be reflecting, since this is an 
uner-water image. It's only reflective when you're looking at it from 
somewhere where there's air.

    You haven't been underwater much, have you?

Sounds like the 'shadows on the moon aren't lit by radiosity' thing...
why does light require air to reflect in?  It doesn't...

Dave,
I don't understand why you are so severe about my hightly sophisticated fin
texture:

#declare TFinF = texture{
        pigment{ rgbt <0.9,0.5,0.0,0.3> }
} :o)

So you are right, I was moving to create a jellyfish model, I should work
first to finis these fins.


For the Fish body, i'm using warp:

#declare TBodyF = texture{
        pigment {
                gradient x
                color_map {
                        [0.0 color BrightGold ]
                        [0.2 color BrightGold ]
                        [0.5 color Bronze ]
                        [0.5 color Black ]
                        [0.51 color Black ]
                        [0.51 color Bronze ]
                        [1.0 color NeonPink ]
                }
                scale 2.2
                translate -1.2*x
                turbulence 0.05
        }
        finish {
                ambient 0.1          // ambient surface reflection color
[0.1]
                diffuse 0.4          // amount [0.6]
                brilliance 1.0       // tightness of diffuse illumination
[1.0]
                reflection {
                0.5                        // reflection amount (maximum for
variable reflection)
                metallic 0.9             // tint reflection in surface color
                }
                conserve_energy            // more realistic
        }
        normal {
                wood 0.3
                scale 0.05
                warp {
                        repeat x*0.05           // repeat direction
                }
                warp {
                        repeat y*0.05           // repeat direction
                        offset x*0.025
                }
        }
}

Bye,

Chaps.

Ugh...very, very wrong. What gave you that idea?
It will be more and more reflective the closer the angle of incidence 
comes to 0, past some point it will be perfectly reflective from total 
internal reflection. Assuming perfectly still water, there will be a 
circular area that you can see through. Look at some underwater 
photos...this image is pretty accurate.
