For the "Aquatic" prompt, I went with a peaceful but technically detailed composition featuring a FLIP Ocean simulation and a floating Rubber Toy as the main protagonist.

I focused on the interaction between the water surface and the toy, ensuring the buoyancy and displacement felt natural. To add depth to the environment, I integrated a VDB cloudscape in the background, all brought together in the Solaris LOPs environment.

Day 03 Submission:

Today I wanted to create a school of fish and wanted to experiment a little with higher contrasts. I also use COPs for compositing for the first time.

Ran out of time, but had way too much fun making this. I think I deserve a Krabby Patty.

I tried the simulation.
I am impressed by the beauty of the textures and the lighting techniques of all the participants.
