Yeah... the figures were never intended as sculptures but as children
playing. :-/
It is an old memory from my own childhood in fact.

Well done Thomas,
but by changing the camera point of view, most of the nice birds disappeared...
What I want to know is how you did your grass and plants - really nice.

I see you've made everyone's scowl more intense in the update :)
Interesting to look at the vegetation - both very realistic, but I actually
think I prefer the original in this regard.

And then, after watching Thomas and the gang at play, Jules Verne used the event
as the inspiration to write _20,000 Leagues Under The Sea_ - in 1870.

The fault is DrJohn's macro but I deemed the loss minor to the gain of a
more realistic scene. I could change the flight of the birds of course.
Incidentally, those were built in Moray using blobs.
The plants are meshes I converted from Poser while the flowers were
provided by PlantStudio.

The scowl was already there in the original and I don't like it. I can
do better. Probably will be smoothed out in the next version

Somehow I have to agree with you. Maybe something I can mend too...
