Firstly, the water is fantastic, really dramatic looking, I guess you could
adjust the size of the rubber ring to make the waves look even larger...
Secondly any chance you can post the improved render.

Well I was waiting until I let one finish with anti-aliasing turned on!
Trouble is I keep stopping it when it's half done to tweak the wave shapes.
Although I think I'm happy with them now, so I'm chucking a sinking ship in
there to show off the refraction and media effects below the surface. Here's
a taster (without anti-aliasing).

Oooh, those waves look very nice. Much better than I have achieved. Great work!
I'll be keeping an eye out for the code... I hope you will post it.

I assume you're using an isosurface? You could probably speed up the
rendertime (by several orders of magnitude, in fact) by first rendering
the pattern as a height field.

...but then you will miss the overhanging parts...!

Were there some? I found it hard to see any in the picture.
Of course, you could use intersections between height fields, and other
such tricks, but that gets... tricky ;)

The overhanging parts aren't obvious in the first version of this image
(aside from the whole thing leaning left, but that could easily be done with
Skew_Trans on a height field), but if you look at my new post they're much
more visible.
The render time's mostly caused by radiosity (which I've since disabled) and
reflections & refractions. A heightfield would be a big help with those
because it traces very quickly, though the resolution I'd need for this
image would mean a huge pretrace time to generate that heightfield, and a
huge lump of memory to store it!

LOL! Yeah, I think about that often as I tap away at my keyboard hour after
hour, tweaking, adding new things, discovering new tricks, forgetting to
eat(!), etc. What can I say--I'm a slave to POV! Happily so!
Your images are simply fantastic, technically and artistically. They (and
the various suggestions of others) comprise one of the most interesting
newspost threads I've come across in awhile. MUCH food for thought here. I
agree with others: These are some of the most astonishing water waves I've
seen using POV-Ray. I *DO* like the "heightened realism"--like Old Master
paintings. Beautiful!

Awesome, in that case it's intentional, and not caused by my inability to do
something realistic! :-D
