So here 's my take the summer fun challenge ; a calming summer feeling, from bookreading at the water, sailing to sleeping at the lake lodge. 3point of views, 3 ways to enjoy summer! Hope you like it. Learned a lot during this challenge and I'm happy with the results. WIP Thread: https://cgcookie.com/questions/14917-summer-fun-challenge-2021-wip-aperitif-by-the-lake
You get a relaxed feeling looking at it. Nice waves, I played with them some and they are trickier to do then you would think, you got it perfect.
Congratulations! π

Very nice entry. Im impressed by how much you got done in a short period of time. Looks like a beautiful place to visit. Great job!
@theluthier thx Kent, happy you like it. I didn't think of adding bloom, you are right it would make it more atmospheric. Thx for the tip!
Love the vibe in your entry
slenaerts! My grandparents lived on a lake most of my childhood and these renders take me back there.
You're scene in thoroughly developed and the lighting is natural. The only improvement I want to offer is some glow / bloom. Bloom on the sun and light bulbs would do a lot for finalizing the atmosphere imo. It's a small thing that can have a big effect.
Overall great job! ππ
Thast's definitively a place where I would like to be π! Great work π!
