Wow! My mind can't embrace the beauty of your work. I mean the flowers, the Tsumani, the waterfall. Everyting is so spledidly fantastic. I'm amazed at your work! Nice job! :shock:

I have always wanted to make a water fall........*drools*

All hail Sargon, Master of S3D and Displacement!

@HELEN, thank you very much that is so nice from you.

I am so glad.

@Lance McKnight, thanks, well there is no S3D used in those, but I think I used the Displacement ( not Alpha Displacement) but I used Height Field To Normal.
Anyways the waterfalls is so easy:
Cloud ( very small size and high Roughness)
>Zoom Blur (full)
>Dents ( very fine)
>Twist ( half size of default)
>Polar Transformation
And Displacement a little for 3D effect
You can add some mist on the base if it needs.

Edit; Dents is before Twist for better result, sorry

Tsunami is beaut! The waterfall is magnificent!

After utter something unrepeatable, I sat in stunned silence...so, so realistic & the moon just sets it off perfectly.

You're amazing, truly.

The new works are fantastic, the waterfall should be used in a large landscape as the centre piece , very realistic.... wonderful

EDIT: im off to have a go at making a waterfall using this method, Welsh showed me another method a few weeks back

There's not a lot I can add that hasn't already been said by everyone above me.
Height field to normal is a great plug-in, I've found a lot of textures by chance using that on clouds at different setting.
The waterfall could be manipulated in so many ways .... <get the ideas out of my head smiley>

You are a true PDN Master ... good job your name is Sargon III and not Bates ...

Always a pleasure viewing your work

thats real nice Sargon, they remind me of those laser cut cubes with images inside (like your vases)

Awesome! Especially the hourglass one. A wonderful concept too.

Aye caramba! Very nice images! The glass cubes are so amazing. Very nicely done. It looks so clear and real. Wow! :shock:

Sorry Sargon I don`t know how I could have missed those superb water images! Absolutely stunning, the Waterfall especially . So realistic. And the glass cubes are , yet again, superb. I like the lighting effects in those pics. Nice one. :wink:

I love the mirror effect I see in the first glass cube. As if you didn't blow us out of the water with your waterfall image, you came up with this new image, and I can't come up with idioms to express my impression with your work.

I highly recommend that Sargon be ranked Old Master or just a rank below it. He deserves it.
