Are you cheating? Is the sea a photo?
Not the foam - that is obviously CG - but the sea looks suspiciously like a
photo of some sort.

Your image has some shocking realism present in it. The grass, though, 
could use some improvement(IMO).

Is that ocean an isosurface? A height_field of that size might take up a 
huge amount of memory...

Good work~

Impressive foam, Marc! Much better indeed than previous one. However, the
crackle pattern seems a little bit too angular to me...?

LOL no thanks, the only bitmap in this scene is the one to generate the
terrain in an isosurface and the foam distribution.
The sea is an isosurface as well with combined unevenly scaled bozos (for
the swell) and f_ridged_mf function (for the ridges)
I'll post the code on p.b.s-f as soon as cleaned

You're right grass is scheduled as "to do"

An isosurface of course

Thanks Tomas
Yes I think it needs to be scaled down a little and warp turbulence scaled
up so angles should vanish

This one is about 37m tall and the walls are about 0.5 to 1m.

Heheh.. "You've been raytracing for too long when you begin to think CG look
like photos!"  ;o)

Thank you very much.
