Looks good, but the ship has no shear! You need to curve the side from
stem to stern. This curve should be the bottom part of a circle. The
earlier the time period of the ship, the smaller the circle. This curve
is called the shear. This ship looks like it dates from about the 1300's
to 1500's, so the shear should be pronounced.

You might well be right - what a pitty!

Yeah, I don't like it either. Flatten it might work and it should probably
be scaled a bit larger in x and z.

At least it's a starting point and a reference to look at. It was of great
help for me, 'cause I did not work that much with finishes before.

Well, it might be a tiny sun ;-)
It's always difficult for me to find the right balance. I wanted the ship to
be visible and not just a silhouette. Lowering the sun might give some
problems with the glow used for it, too.
In fact I'm quite pleased with the lighting, even if it's not totally
realistic.

Thank you! I agree, the water has it's own great touch. If it only would not
take that long to render! This image without the water takes a bit over one
hour to render IIRC - the other 29 hours were spend on that water Iso!

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

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.
>That building will be engulfed in flames pretty soon, with that bonfire

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.
