— Joint Venture Nibor – Projects: Robin # 10: Tropical Cave —
Robin # 10: Tropical Cave
v00: Horo
- Initiated by: Horo. Date: October 2005.
- Motto: None.
- Three tunnels from Northern-Studios – 2005 DAZ Productions were used.
Bryce Source File Size: 14.7 MB

v01: David
- David changed the sky, added a water plain, took the lower tunnel
away, moved the terrain a bit, modified the rock materal and added
a few lights.
- Bryce Source File Size: 10.1 MB.

v02: Horo
- Horo re-introduced the lower tunnel, set the water more transparent
and lowered the surface level. Then, the rock slope at right was changed
and all lights, except the one at the far end of the right tunnel were
removed. A coloured radial light was set beneath the water surface, another
radial light set behind the camera. The camera was set from landscape to
portrait.

v03: David
- That damn tunnel rr10 had driven David nearly to his wits end! For
three hours he tried everything he could think of to eliminate the strange
clipping problems on the LHS bottom corner of the image, he finally concluded
after much hair pulling that the flaw was in himself for not being able to let
go and not in bryce for being unable to handle the boolian intersection of so
many surfaces — curious bugs, he's had them before, hovering incomplete
shadows and wafer thin 2D surfaces with only one side … distance mapping
was the thing that gave the game away for him and that kinds showed him how
irrovocably broken the whole thing was — so then he decided to try and
replicate the whole thing with terrains — but that didn't have the same
pleasing surface qualities … so he ditched the cave system, rescued one
cave and rebuilt it with less elements in the hope that it can be expanded
upon in a way which will not lead us back into such trauma. Oh and he's sunk
an octopus into the water which he's tried to retain the effect of.

v04: Horo
- Horo changed the refraction index of the water from 1.33 to 1.15, moved
and rotated the octopus, added 2 fishes, some vegetation at the ceiling and
a water curtain.
- Bryce Source File Size: 26.3 MB.

v05: David
- David turned the water plane into a terrain to give a little ripple
effect and added some splashes to the falling water and a couple of
statue heads (Easter Islands) to the rocks around the walls just in
case someone takes the trouble to look.
- Bryce Source File Size: 31.9 MB.

v06: Horo
- Horo added a manta fish and a turtle. He thinks this is it —
there is possibly already too much.
- Bryce Source File Size: 37.5 MB.

v07: David
- David essentially moved the camera a bit back and widend its angle
a bit.
- Bryce Source File Size: 37.5 MB.

Result
- The opening in the cliff lead into a beautiful cave.
