Description

WorldMachine terrain by me, rendered at 2800x2100 in 12,5 hours. Postwork in Photoshop CS. I'm pretty happy with this one, except for the surf. I still don't get it how these settings work :( Thank you everybody for last comments/votes, I feel very supported! As always any comments are appreciated! Martin

Excellent creation. You might consider doing the following for the surf: Reduce the density in 'SortaSurf' to a minimum. Reduce the surf reflectivity to a minimum; also play with the amount of frothiness - probably reduce it a bit. Now, using the 'shore foam' in TG, raise it to about 20% and see what happens. Sometimes I will raise this to 50% for the right effect...you need to experiment. Also consider increasing the water transparency a little. This will add to the surf effect.

Fantastic stuff there! Reminds me of part of the ending to the "Fanal Fantasy: The Spirits Within" movie! I wish they would release Terragen for Linux...one of the few Windows Apps I miss! Again...great stuff!

I don't really get the surf, either. :) Love the other water settings, though, as well as the fantastic surfacing job. EXC.

maybe the surf settings need an option set a prevailing wind direction or something...it looks realistic except that there is surf all along the coastline. very good colour work...says more "nature" than "terragen"

Excellent Render and POV! Just don't understand surf for what appears to be a lake. Now you can shoot me! ;o) Still give an Excellent!

This is very pretty. The surf isn't that bad, either! Of course we all need to realize that surf doesn't happen on most lakes, but artistic license says we can use it. ;)

Agree with PatGoltz. Art shows the individual style in all of what we create. And only you know if somewhere on your terrain map the water leads to the ocean.
