===== The water is very nice. The sand texture is great, if it were on the floor of a public plaza or something. As sand it totally fails. I'd have swapped the textures on the beach ball and the umbrella--the holes in the ball sorta spoil it. Also, turn off the landing jets on that ball--it hasn't touched down yet! And the castle looks like a plastic model. Still, pretty good for a TrueSpace rendering. ===== at 1st, I thought sky was too plain, took up too much of scene But oddly compelling; starkness reminds me of Hopper paintings. ===== A flat beach. I newer saw one i. r. l.! ===== The sand is too flat - it looks like a dry lake bed?!? ===== interesting green globe
