SeaScape Carrara6 - Polyloop

bwtr · 3rd November 2007, 04:04

Very, very early stage in a seascape idea I have in mind. I want to also add "underwater" effects as going back to one of Mark Bremmers very early tutes in a creek.
I have used the C6 Ocean with the DCG Terrain Tools---which I think need a bit more work on here.
Many "funny" things have been happening getting to this point--Am I learning?
Good fun anyway.

nice work brian, I like the effect

bwtr · 3rd November 2007, 05:16

Thanks. I will keep rabbiting away at it until I get the end effect I want!

bwtr · 4th November 2007, 07:07

Do not have the patience to work at it full time, but here is another stage in trying out ideas.

What I like about this is that it looks like a picture from the arctic, the water looks like it is frozen over so the dolphin's fin would not make much sense sticking out of the water unless it is an ice breaker

Very allert.
The Ocean does not react to the shader setting in the way I would normally expect. Part of why I have to go away and gnash my teeth, have a spell, working on this idea. I did have a a cube (water) to be the under the Ocean part. The renderings of that and the interreaction with the Ocean are, well, interesting.
Will experiment more today.

Is this of interest?
Referring to the previous image.
Image 10 has only had the Ocean "Wind" angle changed 180deg.
Image 11 has, also, had the Surf halved in size.

image 11 looks so much better, lets see what others have to say too.

After several, sloooooow. test renders, here is the current version.
Ocean.--Wind set at Y (90). Ticked--waves follow wind, Transperency increased to 75,reflection reduced by half. Surf set to a quarter of original.

Foreground Rock. Added displacement (in tab)

The background island, for interest, utilises the exact same .jpeg as the foreground "Rock"!

The Ocean is good but I wonder if any features and benefits over the Enhance C/Terrain Tools plugins from DCG?

Enough for today I think.

I like it, very nice

Poetic licence and/or toooo many Coopers Stout?

Should have softened the shadows!

crazy wabbit · 6th November 2007, 15:05

Cute, yes soften shadow.

I like the poetic license.
What are you using for a reflection map / environment?

bwtr · 9th November 2007, 01:27

Basically default reflection settings/Realistic Sky at default/Rendering Indirect AmbOcclusion (ltt) only. (Usually I don't even use anything other than the basic default render settings)

bwtr · 13th November 2007, 07:55

If you look at my last image, you will appreciate, I think, why I love PhotoshopCS3 adjustments in these two images!
