Wow! That's one hell of a vignette! Also, the whale was cool!

[oliphantscott]

was just having a little fun, the vignette / blur was to cover up some quick and dirty masking =)

[GraphicsKid]

Well it covered it up pretty well. I still haven't found any of this bad masking.

That whale goes right through your wall right? You should have the wall break away. It'd be hilarious!

comes through the window, i should have broken it!

Hi
How did you get so realistic rendering of the whale? Vray?.. Using HDRI? .. is it then enough using one HDRI -map along the whale swimming path?

[oliphantscott]

hey there, thanks, just lightwave and 1 area light (positioned where door / window is in scene) and one directional light (if i remember correctly, will double check when in office), added some floor geometry to capture the shadow pass which helps

AHA! Left fin is cut off just before it goes through the doorway. I only just spotted this!
