Instead of locking the thread on June 1st, we will leave it open noting that all entries after May 31st do not count toward and entry.

Enjoy creating!
Thank you for keeping the thread open after the contest! I've been enjoying seeing everything everyone creates and I have some more ideas that I likely won't get finished before the first, but would love to share!

Nothing special, actually. I used the Photoshop CS3 Poster Edges filter several times, and played around with saturation, hue, brightness and contrast, exposure, and various layer modes like soft light. I used the paint brush to soften out the darker areas that still remained, and added outlines in places where it had been faded out or was missing.
Thank you I have CS3 so I will give it a try.
Love this render Michelle. What product did you use for the water at the front please?

Wonderful image! I do know why your seagulls are dong that- I love that set! (Heck I love all Fabi's light sets:) Basically some of your seagulls are "behind" the cloud plane- that's what's making them that way.

Ahh, that's it then! Afterwards I got to thinking the clouds were props and not a texture but didn't go back to check, as it was already after 2AM. It is a nice set. I'm too new to using iray to understand most of the utilities it comes with, but I'll get around to figuring it all out.

I don't mind the look of the birds, exactly, but I think they're too low to be encountering cloud cover? Fog or haze would work though. I'll call it that. :)

The water is from the same Fabiana light set -- Theory of Light – The Heavens

Again, I haven't looked too closely at the props -- backdrop, clouds, rainbow, ground -- but she says in the readme that the ground prop is different from past ones. I'm assuming built up for volume. The readme file also says to raise the ground if you're using the water materials, to simulate depth.

I have one more to turn in latter. I was glad to hear we can still post after the deadline for the contest. This has been really fun. Thank you to all the artists for their models.

@jessicasart I love your spirit !! =) Hopefully we might be headed towards the light at the end of the tunnel soon!! =) Gorgeous render and love the color accents!

This is a little something I've had in the works for a few months for Lisa's Fairy Flower II ............ not sure if I will have time to finish the whole lot of them, but might try smaller sets will have to see about time constraints. Sort of have the Daz Iray version where I want them, but ........ still have to do the Poser conversion and 3DL.

Hello everyone,

first I would like to say a big THANK YOU to the HiveWire Team for these fantastic freebies.
There are so many wonderful images here and I want to try it too.
I love flowers and so I have made my image with Lisa's awesome Daylilys and Asiatic Lilys. The colours are so great.
HiveWire´s cute House Cat and the beautiful Fantasy Gazebo are also in my entry.
I wish all participants good luck.

Thank you for a very wonderful present.
I enjoyed it by them.
Actually I was going to use of LAMH pre-seting.
However, I used ”Oso Fur Shaders for Iray” because a PC crashed frequently :_(
