Hi,

I think I have finished with this one, added the seaweed which is a macro using
blobs and hf_sphere's. Modified the stone on the left side (replaced with 2
smaller stones), added a few stones scattered around, modified the sand
isosurface which I am pretty pleased with.

The only thing I am not that happy with is the seaweed, it was not what I was
aiming for but probably as good as it is going to get with my macro skills.

Thanks, like all my recent images it is a mix of HDR and an area light.

Hi Sean,
I really don't know, why you are complaining about your macro skills - you are
excellent!

I first thought "whow!" about the seaweed before reading your comment - as
always I envy your coding skills and I'm begging for source code....

Not!
A superb ray-tracing picture!
Don't search the winner of the rc-rtc, he is here!

Hi Norbert,

Thanks, I was referring to the fact I could not create the seaweed I was trying
for but am glad you like this version.

As requested, the source (without the HDR probe) is in the p.b.s.f group. HDR
probe can be downloaded somewhere on the free section of
http://www.bobgroothuis.com/blog/?p=6150 but I think any external probe would be
OK.

There are 2 macros used for the seaweed (my 2 different attempts that I combined
to create the end result).

I used a low level of SSLT for this render but it looks OK without this and
renders a lot faster. I have not edited/tidied up the source file I am affraid
so it is full of commented out sections/failed attempts at things etc..

Also, with the seaweed, barnacles anemones and limpets switched on the parse
time and memory consumption of this image are pretty large so be warned..

Sean

Thanks, I was hoping to get 2 images in for this round but am now not sure I
have time for my second idea (mainly down to my slow work rate and too much real
life as opposed to virtual stuff to do).

I am hoping for some stiff competition though.
