IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
He hey!! you can find some surprises in the deep parts of the oceans!
I met a lot of difficulties while trying to create the ocean floor environement,
so as you can see there is no volume light! I deleted it after long hours
of frustration..

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
here is the major techniques used in this images:
-The pillars have been made with an extrusion of a star shape which
have 10 in the radius splice values.
-The algaes and the grass made with the sisyphus druid plugin.
-The rock under the algaes is fractionned, as you can see, 
this have been made with an PArray system with a very low speed
value.
-The small fishes aren't simple drops, they have their own geometry
and are parts of an super-droplet system.

OK! excuse me if you find some incorrect technical words in the description
below, it's because I have a french version of max and had to make some 
mistakes.
