Hi all,
here is my current scene. It took 30 h 13 m 5 sec on my PII 450, mostly
because of the water which is really slow. That's bad, 'cause I'm not
satisfied with it, but I don't think I'll work much on this one again until
I get a faster computer and Pov 3.5 is out (up to 10 times faster Isos -
will this help with a simple RigdedMF?).
Thanks to all the people I could borrow some code or models from, esp.
Christoph Hormann for his 'realistic water' site, Peter Houston for the
Comments?

I think maybe everything would be brighter with the sun that high
in the sky. If you put the sun behind the mountain--just peeking
over the top--that might work nicely.

With a simple RMF there is probably not that much gain in speed.
BTW, the water looks - hmm - not much like water :-)
The surface turbulence seems quite strong, therefore the reflections of
building and ship are hardly visible. Maybe making the water flatter
would help.
The rest of the scene looks good, especially the atmosphere.

Thanks, i did some new stuff with water recently and should really update
that tutorial. Things are quite incomplete and misleading right now.

Hi Marc
Beautiful image, the water doesn't look at all real but still
looks great the way it is. I like the light house.

Hmm. There is something not quite right. Maybe it's a scale problem. I think
it is. But i don't know what is out of scale. Maybe the flame in the
lighthouse. Maybe the waves. I'm trying to picture everything in relation to
a human standing in the scene some place.
the clouds are really nice. they look quite realistic in their placement and
look. although what might look *really* nice is a line of clouds off in the
distance where a cold front might be meeting a warm front. I always remember
when i was younger and out on the Atlantic trying to race back to the inlet
before a storm moved in. It was always exciting and scarey, especially near
dusk when the sun was just about to dip below the horizon. which, although
the boats are different, this picture reminds me of.
generally it's a nice image :)

The chain looks like it's links are about 3 feet wide, maybe bigger when
comparing with the ship...either that's a really tiny ship made for tiny
people, or that building and chain are really huge.
The masts on the ship don't seem to taper, which looks odd. The flagpole
on the building looks too thick to me.
That building will be engulfed in flames pretty soon, with that bonfire
going in it.

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!
