needs a bit of work. some more noise, thin up a few things.. maybe even add a texture or two. and of course some lighting tweaks. i'll get around it later, for some reason it took an hour to render.
Round two. the "water" looks better, but some how I lost the lighting effect. odd.
A few basic textures and it seems to be coming long. It gave me an idea to fix up an old project which is awesome. But, I needs me a few more changes before I call this finished.
Getting closer to where I want it. Not exactly where I thought I'd be going this direction with it when I started, but still, I think it looks pretty awesome.
Interesting enough when you change a few things around. You can see the sphere now, but it doesn't have the blue that I want. It looks like gel now.
Looks pretty good now.. I'm happy with it. Though, I'm going to rewind a bit and take it back tobasics. But that'll be for another time.
And that's actually closer to the way its supposed to look. Now I'm glad I put the ripple in along with the wave. It's been a fun project, but waiting an hour for each render is getting a little ridiculous. Thus ends the adventures in caustics.
Edit: Dammit! My lighting is tweaked and I just now saw it. I don't want to fix it right now. I'll do it later and post it in a week or so.... damn.
