IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Is it Aeneas who's trireme this is? Or perhaps Odysseus?
Or is it yours? Or mine?

Sun is sending it's last rays while dark clouds rise from North.
Storm is raising. Time is running short.

What is this trireme searching for? New home, Old home?

New Crew ?

First drops of rain have allready fallen.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


Blood, Sweat and Tears. In this order.

Blood:
Trireme was easily mase with Rhino, nothing fancy with that. Textures of trireme

are poor, but lights (or lack of lights) correct this pretty fine. I woudn't say

that this solution is the best.

Sweat
Clouds are transparent spheres that have interrior media. Clouds look
good enoug, but time to render them is enormous. Athmosphere is aphmospheric
media and one light. Effect is guite good.

Tears
Water never worked as I wished and finally I gave up the hope to get the
right colour to it. I used strong reflection to give the colour to water.
It works fine in distance, but in close trireme messes everything up.

I made huge amount of test renders but always something was wrong.

Ps.
To be honest I forgot the people in trireme, but I hope that those two words in
description makes it up. I noticed this after final rendering.
