So I’ve been doing some tuts for the last month, too scared to venture out on my own but decided to today. Thought I’d try this image as it looked fairly easy. Nice easy shape and colours, just discovered the Ocean modifier and looks like it’s some basic rim lighting.
I managed something that looks half decent but nothing like I wanted it to be (basically like the image) and it’s got 2 lights and a couple of emission planes. I am winging it after all.
So everythingis basically off.
How do you think the original is done looking at the image. Can it be done out of the box or will it need a lot of nodes for the water and the glow.

The Lighting
The Water
Be intersted in any thoughts. My next project is going to be the space shuttle landing, with a parachute popping out 
See you in 20 years.
