Weekly 28

Done in C4D, rendered with Indigo.

I had the silly desire to do everything 'in camera' in this one so even though this scene was finished a lot earlier it took literally ages to render because of all sorts of belts and whistles.

I ended up rendering a physical sun trough a 150m thick sss cube to create water mass, a transparent and reflective wave layer to show the water surface and all this with atmospheric simulation, physical aperture diffraction etc etc.
To see how the light setup works check out the light layer link showing seperate light sources and combos of them.
