So I have been looking around for any and all sources for a solution to a problem that was self created; How do I recreate the Titanic scene with Druff on the bow of a cruise ship with a full fucking flyover of the ship? Well, i've made water scenes in Maya before, but I didn't really need sky and natural lights and shit to fill out what was more or less a top down shot into a rolling sea.
