Hello. ;-]
You both have done quite remrkable work with your ocean projects. The strengths
that each image has is polar to eachother. i.e. what makes either image
impressive is missing from the other.
Your image is a slight bit off color with a bit too much surface rippling.
However it expresses depth and expanse which is a significant factor in
emmulating the sea. Your sea seems a bit dry and the absence of the horizon
curve are the only real distraction from a perfect ocean.
Both images are lacking "layers" in the water. I've not tried it but I'm
wondering if well bounded media could be used to display the solidity of the
ocean's interior. You know how the water is very clear at the surface and light
penetrates, but as you descend past the plankton layer, minerals, dirt and etc.
become more dense absorbing and dispersing light (perhaps emitting, scattering
and absorbing media could be used for this).
I d/l your .mov last night - wow! very nice indeed. After viewing it several
times, I realized there was one thing I was missing from it - the gentle lolling
up&down of being on a boat and staring off into the horizon. Your animation
could really benefit if you had your camera mimiking that motion.
Perhaps you and Thomas could pool your resources and cross-develop a still and
animation that could make us all run for our dramamine....and applaud along the
way.
