Thank you very much.

I want to replicate the Boecklin image (Isle of the dead) since 20 years, but I
have to mature more...
In 2003 I was electrified, when I turned around a corner at NY Met to see this
version in a very similar setting - I stood there at least 30 minutes with my
jaws dropped to the floor blocking anybody else - then my wife found me ...

The metallic textures aren't complicated at all - just very low diffuse and
metallic reflections settings (without direct lighting there is no specular or
phong contributions).

Norbert
