Wow Joe - that's really amazing. Reminds me of Albert Bierstadt, one of my favorite western US painters.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bierstadt_Albert_Yosemite_Valley_Yellowstone_Park.jpg)
Going to be one heck of a challenge this time ;-)
I won't lie Dan but I was browsing around and saw Bierstadt work and it did inspire me on this one. The light he captures is incredible. Spent hours trying to replicate it but to no avail.
I agree that is a superb render, Nice tip about the waterfall as well, I hadn't thought about using my waterfall brushes that way.
Beautiful render orbital !
Anyway, this is my first render, called "Pink Lake City"
nice - may I suggest you make the camels and male smaller
they would fit the scene better .

I agree, at the moment the scale looks wrong.
@Dave - that looks dramatic.
@mermaid010 - I like the idea. The water droplets are difficult to see.
@orbital - beautiful scene.
@adbc - that's a nice idea. As has already been suggested, the scale is yet an issue.
@Jamahoney, I really like your feet in shallow water scenes - kind of nostalgic idea and they look great!
@Savage64's glass of water is almost perfect- Wow! - makes me thirsty to see it! Only perhaps the watery pattern on the floor is too odd and less convincing.
Your ship in the rain is also amazing and spectacular - did you do post-work effects on it? The ropes and detail have a sketched look on closeup view.
@JStryder the frog in tub idea is great - maybe needs some waviness of the water surface around the edge, and the frog's skin texture is a bit dull and not living up to the liveliness of the other objects. Add some more reflection and shine in skin the eyes and you're away!
@Hansmar - I've seen those water-drop pics you mention and they are so beautiful - your modeled drop in looking very good indeed!
@Horo's moody scene is very beautiful indeed - so realistic and peaceful.
@Orbital's idyllic scene has indeed managed to create the feeling of an old image and is very grand.
@Adbc's scene will also look majestic with that white desert once the objects's scales are better matched to the scene terrain scale and the perspective.
I haven't had time to do a scene just for this watery theme yet - but to show my interest, I'm posting this one which I did in preparation for the December competition. this was a bit of an inadvertent render but it looks quite unusual and dramatic anyway.
@bigh, orbital, horo and keryna
Thanks for your comment.
You are right they are too big.
Will do the adjustment, still enough time he .....
@orbital: Wonderful scene! Lovely atmosphere.
@adbc: I agree with the others on the size. Otherwise a nice render
@keryna: Thanks. And your ship scene is very nice, but maybe indeed more of an icy render.
Orbital....gob-smacked...pheeww.
adbc...great work, too...and very nice scene.
Keryna...many thanks...love your early efforts - look forward to the final work.
Jay
@orbital: A very beautiful and awesome scene.
@adbc: That's a nice first entry. When you make the adjustments it will look better.
@Keryna: Love that ship.
No post work... The sketch effect is a result of refraction from the rain filter I put in front the Bryce camera to get the rain drops.
I did the adjustment you advised me to do and I appreciate your comments.
better !
Amazing renders from everyone.
I played with the settings for Specular in the Light lab, Sky Lab and the material for the droplets. I used Electro-elvis’s suggestion and replaced the radial light with a distant light but no luck. The render I posted is the best so far.
Hansmar – I will try with another ground texture, it’s hard to get something nice with cracks in the concrete, I’m still trying other options and there is still time before the deadline.
Horo-any ideas for the droplets…
@mermaid010 - well, not for the form, that is fine. As for the material, I suggest making it like water. Between 99 and 100% transparent and refraction 133. No diffuse and ambient but specularity. To get enough specularity from IBL, you'll need a hypertexture in the specularity channel. I'd rather suggest to use the sun as the specular source. There is a control for it in the Sky Lab. Specularity works best with a point light source like the sun. You could also use a radial near the droplets without Diffuse and shadows but Specularity.
Very great work from all of you....At The Docks.....
My very first Bryce render and it has water so here it is ....
Fog on the Lake
@Kharma - really doesn't look like a first, exceedingly well done. You're certainly on the right track.
@Trish - looking nice. Did you get Faubourg?
Thank you very much Horo, from you that is a HUGE compliment , I admire yours and David's work so much! It took me a week just to figure out how to get the camera angle to do what I want ... I must have watched the video on that a 100 times :)
Nice renders Trish and Kharma
Thanks Horo for the suggestions. I already have Specular in the Sky Lab set to 300 and Diffuse 100. The material is almost what you stated except I have ambience at 15. I did not think about using a hypertexture. Thanks for mentioning that. I need to play with the settings.
Thank you....yes Horo I could not pass up faubourg....had to have it...LOL ... http://www.daz3d.com/forums/index.php?&ACT=50&fid=2&aid=121810_CdyfnrBZmyNYGQIFdvgb&board_id=1
Thank you mermaid010 :)
I hope there's enough water to fit in the theme ;)
Used: http://archive3d.net/?a=download&id=f1c70918
@adbc. Great improvement!
@mermaid010: you could of course also make some bricks or tiles yourself, with mortar in between? In that case you may want to have some concrete-type material with cracks in them. You can always change the colours a bit if needed.
@bullit35744: Great harbour scene. Wonderful effects of the poles in the water.
@Kharma. Good effort. Maybe set the material size on the mountains a bit smaller (i.e. a higher value in the size setting).
@dwsel_ Another nice lake. And there must be lots of water in the sky, so why would it be too limited? (The theme is H20, which doesn't necessarily mean much water in the scene; I once made a painting for the theme 'l'heur bleu' (the blue hour), which was more than 90% red; didn't win, but certainly stood out in all the other blueish entries!)
I'm still struggling with a big wave. Don't get the foam on the wave as I want it yet.
@hansmar ... thank you. could you be a bit more specific on how I would change the material size, where would I discover that setting?
Of course.
Go to materials editor (the M when you select an object).
Bring up the texture editor (arrow 1), greenish dot
Use the 'scale control' (arrow 2). Just play and see what happens.
And: follow several tutorials by the Master of Bryce: David Brinnen. I learned so much from his tutorials (and he publishes them sometimes faster than I can follow!)
Have fun!
(Edit: Oops, wrong picture!)

There are 3 different textures, how do I know which to change? I assume they each affect the texture in a different way?
@adbc: That image is looking much better.
@Trish: A really neat scene. Love the buildings.
@Kharma: For a first attempt that's a very nice scene.
@dwsel: Adding the arch gives that scene a nice atmosphere.
