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
