this has such a Gumby feel to it.. ( I really don't know what 3d rendering is.. but from what I've talked to others about this it's a pain in the butt)... this reminds me of the Gumby episode where he projects dust in the air to make it rain and ends up with a mud flow... hehehehe.. good luck (the 3d peeps are going to beat me LOL)

yeah the render was kinda tough but my system started slowing down after all the pollys were added... but thanks for the feedback.

Never used Maya, but does it have any form of sky object? If so adding one with simple blue skies or maybe some clouds would be a great idea to pep up this image, the black you have at the moment is ruining the render. If you cannot do it in Maya or dont want to render again I would suggest that you use photoshop and a picture of some sky and remove the black and add the sky, then a blending layer and it would look much better.

Other than the black, a vry nice entry, good luck

thanks

There a rule in CG: never show the horizon, always cover it with stuff. Or you could choose an angle that shows more of the boat=selling piece & your strenght vs bavkground= fill in context which is secondary.
