Wonderful. Gives a great feeling of peace and calmness


Any chance of the source/ a larger version. This looks like a very
good contendor for the next desktop image. (To replace your deserrt scene of
november)

  Hmm, maybe, but I like the look of the water the way it is - gives the
impression of movement past the canopy. I can 'hear' a soothing gurgling
sound when I look at your image <s>.

The cliffs have the texture and colour I would expect in a some limestones and I like
the
naturalness of the plants.  The water is good - don't change it!

What jars slightly in the image for me is the square base under the canopy going
straight
down into the water.  To achieve a more realistic feel to this I would like to see it
resting on a, perhaps, sloping rock just surfacing from the water.

These iso-surfaces are creating a revolution in POV!

Great stuff.

Thanks.

I worry that if I make the image bigger, the plants won't look like plants
anymore, but rather the noisy objects they really are. As for the source, I hope
to update my site soon, which will say how to do these sorts of things.

It bothers me too, but I forgot to fix it before rendering it. I might use rocks, I
might do
something else, I don't know yet.

Well, isosurfaces are revolutionary objects.

Isosurfaces are not revolutionary objects.  SORs and lathes are.

I am the center of the universe and everything revolves around me.

Isosurfaces can be revolutionary objects.  For example, 
z*z-x*x-y*y+1 threshold 0 is the surface of revolution of a 
parabola.
