Will you hunt with me? (HR) (Patreon)

For DolphinProject of their orca Yano inviting a fellow cetacean to catch fish with her!

So like, I spent roughly a day and a half on this. Two if you count the issues I had near the end - scroll down if you're interested in the rant.  I pulled out the DAZ3D orca and painted a custom texture on it with 3DCoat, then started experimenting to find a good underwater look.

Cinema 4D + Redshift

Near the end though... I saved the project, closed it and went to work... And at lunch break I open it only to find the program just crashes. I spent my whole break trying to figure it out and an hour and a half when I got home.  "Remove this plugin and get rid of all the seaweed as a result? It works! But no seaweed..."  then it starts crashing again.  

Eventually I uninstalled and reinstalled Redshift and it worked once more - but I didn't bother sticking around to tinker with the scene further and instead just went to render out the full-res image. My patience was spent by that point and I just wanted to be done with it ^^;
