Hm, I had the same thought once. The waves are probably wrong, I think they
should be scaled wider in the x and z direction (y is up), that might help.
That fire in the lighthouse is most likely to big. Some three meters high.

Can you see the 4 Blobman in this scene :-) I usually modell everythink in a
one unit=1 meter scale which works quite good - usually.

Thank you. It's not much about them codewise, just a big scaled turbulated
wrinkle-pattern with a color_map from grey to total transparency.

I see. I'll keep that idea in mind for some other project, but I think it
would distroy the mood of this scene.

Thank you!

That chain is meant to be huge, right. Maybe it's a bit to much. The concept
is, that it will be pulled up to close the ports-entrance. as I don't know
what they used in ancient times for such things, I just made it big to make
clear no ship will be able to cross it :-)
The tower is about 15 meter high, the top of the masts of the ship about 35
above the waterlevel.
>The masts on the ship don't seem to taper, which looks odd.
They do tapper - a bit. Might have to change that.
>The flagpole on the building looks too thick to me.
Well yes, it's a bit strong.

Again, you are probably right - there should be no roof at all to work.

Thank you. Yeah, you are right - I struggled with that while modeling the
ship, but in the end I decided to let it the way it is. It's made for a
fantasy world, so I it will work there.
I bought a book about ship-modeling (with wood and glue etc.) just to get
some ideas, how the ship should look like. Helped a lot, but I droped some
details to make the modeling easier.

I think this is a great pic the way it is. Even the unnatural items add to
the mood.

Thank you!
All those responses motivated me to work a bit more on the scene and at the
moment, I'm rendering it again with better water and some other changes. I
reduced the size of an area_light and raised the accuracy for the water, so
the render will only take about 12 hours, I think. I'll keep the other one
anyway, 'cause it had something to it - it's looking cold to me in the lower
part and somewhat warm in the upper one.
Let's wait and see, if the next one is better.

Wow, there is a *lot* of detail there! The tower seems out of scale and the
water needs work, but I think the ship, sky and land are very good.
