I am afraid the wreck is also a VOC ship...
Blue sky: this is the aftermath of a storm. You can have (more or less)
these skies with still rough seas.

Thank you indeed, John, your comments are very much appreciated!
Concerning the foam... This is a problem still that I have not solved.
Although the present scene can happen in real life, I agree that there is a
feeling of wrongness about it. I am not sure to be able to solve it (see
thread: Foam over isosurface, in p.b.i. and p.b.s-f)
The ship has a lot of details but would not stand up to close scrutiny. It
works best in the background or the middle foreground. One problem is the
whole set of running ropes that I have not (yet) modelled (the standing
ropes have been though). The ras and sails can be turned to the wind, but I
cannot inbed the splines in CSGs. So, for the time being, they are left out.
At a distance, this does not matter because they would be invisible anyway.
On the wrecked mast, though, more ropes are certainly possible, as well as
some canvas remains....

Hey! that's great!
I don't know exactly why but your image has a painting or quality comics
look. ( the faded colors maybe?)
I'm very proud to see my sea can take part to your work :-)
The only advice I can give is may be the foam is still not quite convincing.
Is it really necessary under this carribean blue sky?
Tot ziens

This is a picture of the ship under construction (in 2000) in a fairly
advanced stage.

I tend to end up mostly with rather faded colors. Must be an unconscious
preference :-)
but yes, I agree that it gives that impression.
> I'm very proud to see my sea can take part to your work :-)
Well! Only natural, as your sea is the best (IMHO) I have yet found.

Well, consider this to be the day following the storm. I have experienced a
few times things like this: clear skies and still rough seas.
There is still a problem with the foam. John Gwinner rightly stressed this
too. I have not found yet a way to make the foam stick preferentially to the
wave tops, although I use exactly the same function for the sea as for the
foam. Hmmm... work to do ;-)

Happens often here in the Caribbean. There could be a storm 1000 km to the
north, and we would get the rough waves, but not the stormy weather.

Nice - the prow looks a bit 'big' to me but I'm going to guess it's
accurate.
I understand what you mean about splines - I need to work with them a bit
more too, lots to learn there.
I vaugely remember foam all over the place when I was on a Navy ship long
ago, I just remembered it being on top too. Makes me want to go look at
some google images of the sea <G>.
If I remember right, the foam 'starts' on the wave crest, then the wave
moves and the foam doesn't, sorta. Then again, that was a while ago. I
should probably move these comments to the other thread.

You remember right :)
It is just tricky to simulate it... maybe a slightly translated version of
the function generating the waves?
But while foam forms at wave crest, it vanishes at the back of the wave as
the bubbles make their way to the surface.
I have to say I choosed crackle pattern to make a sea breaking on the shore
with swirls and upwells and not for open sea.

Yes, that is something to look into. I shall do that once I have some
time.... :-)

Yes, it is accurate. You have to remember that those ships were built for
transporting as much goods as possible.
