New Liger Renders

   I'm still having teething issues, most specifically with Cinema which is hampering my efforts and making things difficult, but I did get these two images done.
   I started the Hot Foot image back before the crash. I thought it was done but there was an annoying glow. Rendering the scene all in one with my new 8 core solved the problem.

   Liger by the sea was the culprit that destroyed the Phenom, when I tried to render the land it died for the last time. I was a bit leery about rendering it but gave it a shot. The waves are post blur effects combined with splash effects Mechmaster taught me, not perfect, but better than my initial efforts.

   The water was a major annoyance. You can't see it but there is water under the layers of the bottom third of the picture.. and that took hours to render. Also the first time I rendered the Liger and the land it took my PC over 8 hours to render... which made for a very painfully bright room to try to sleep in. (leds) I'm not going through that again. grrr.

    Once I get Cinema and some other issues sorted out I want to decal the liger, make a few different versions and then knock off a couple more of these scene ideas before returning to writing.
