Happiness

Another project with a human subject, possibly to be continued later on. Some of the elements intended to be included are still missing, and of course there's always room for improvement on what's already there.

The polygons visible at the girl's feet in the first version were related to low polygon count for the ground object, as the memory available in my graphics card became a limitation that I could not solve in time for the nightly rendering run. I added more complexity in the second version, but had to run an even longer rendering with the CPU instead, and also had to use a much lower sampling rate (which means less accuracy and more noise in the picture).

I'm not really satisfied with the coastline, which is "too distinct" in my opinion. The water should start "more gradually", and the line could be better formed as well. Additionally, I changed the material and layout for the texts at the lower right corner for the worse, which needs to be fixed.
