"Still Waters" is the name of the composition I made for the latest unit in ADE on the subject of Depth Maps. I created an island of ice and glass, floating over a sea of calm waters that can also be a mirror or even air. The Buddha head floats over it all, and breathes calmly. A glassy veil floats around him, as he is about to unveil himself to us. The Buddha head is from Sketchfab, and the veil from Abstracpack. The island/mountains where generated from the abstract elevation png's as indicated in Anna's tutorial. Hereby, I present 2 renderings showing 2 different camera angles and also several colour schemes, as well as a Photoshop sketch in black and white of the front view. Thanks for watching!
