One with personal meaning it in.

Several weeks in the making. Getting the right terrain and textures was the hardest part, not to mention getting the surf to look "realistic".. Kind of.

This is actually part of a 12000x8000 render which was then downsized and cropped. So it's actually part of a much larger image with a lot more in.

13 hours @ 12000x8000 on a 3GHZ P4 and a couple of hours post processing.

Thanks for viewing! :D

Woah! This one made me do a double-take. Great sense of scale!

The time spent on the surf was well worth it, and the water is gorgeous. I'll be studying the water quite a bit. Love the overhang. This reminds me of something I have seen on Renderosity.

:jawdrop: That's amazing! At first I thought that this was a photo which you'd only changed the colours of, so yeah it's very realistic, and yet surreal. I adore this! I want to go there :heart:
