Dad and I use to go to the part and feed the ducks. These lazy ducks would stay all year long since folk would feed them even in the winter time (and trust me, these ducks weren't skinny).
Literally lost my marbles (DAP marble preset that is; my computer crashed a few years ago and I did lose a few of my presets that I failed to back up; forgot about my Marbles preset and just re-created that preset). Spent the better part of 2 hours re-creating the preset. Stol..., um....er... borrowed some online sources for the objects. lol
Looks great, Peter. As a side note, Oscar did email me a link to my original marbles so I renamed my new preset Marbles2 and just a few minutes ago installed the old Marbles preset back. Regardless, I think the new preset's better. Even so, I thank Oscar for the archive.
The fun part is adding caustics, reflections and additional drop shadowing after the render. Saving underpaint layer and edge detecting methods is very helpful for the drop shadowing part (used other techniques for reflections and caustics).
