Description

Well, here goes on how I made this one. Sky, terrains and foliage are all pretty much self-explanatory. Mats were customized from the presets. The basic water plane is a customized 'Thin Foam' mat. Rolling waves were constructed from an elongated and squashed sphere, duplicated a few times, randomly placed and customized using the 'Clay's Ice Cube' water mat...found in the turbulent set. The sea wave sprays at the far right entrance to the cove area and left foreground area were constructed using trees and applying a custom 'Sea Spray' mat to them and adjusting the transparency levels. Be careful to hide the trunks when doing this. Finally, the addition of 9 radial lights randomly placed. That's about all there was to creating this one except the render time was almost 6 hours at Premium with soft shadows selected. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
