Floating Paradise in the middle of the ocean.

At night and during storms the glass canopy closes to protect the inside.
(I animated it but not rendered yet...)
the diameter of the sphere is 500m, I added the oil tanker in the background
to show the size of the sphere..

scene is 4 million polys..
1 area light for the sun, monte carlo 1 bounce, perspective camera.
(the ocean uses APS, I applied a simple gradient to have more faces in the foreground and less in the background..)
previewed in fprime but rendered in lightwave. (fprime could not render that scene at high resolution)

hope you like it,
