Hi folks,

First of all I have to say that this is my first “organic” character and he was a great challenge for me…
Neptune has a reptile skin bump shader on it.
Than I make a landscape, some boats, a little bit of fog and… the final render…
The total render time of this scene was 04:26 min. :p
I hope you will like it…

Oooo… by the way, what do you think, for the next challenge should I go as a normal competitor? I have now 4 month of Maya experience
In this time I learned a lot of things by these competitions (here on Simply Maya), and from the “Maya 4 Fundamentals” book. Also the “Learn Maya 3” book was useful… so I recommend those books for all newbie’s…
In rest I think the clue for all is… to practice a lot and learn a lot…

See you till the next challenge.
