Sailing ship

...
But the larger the renders are, the more you will see all the flaws

LOL! Joke or not but that is what i feel when i am waiting for a larger render to finish.
Sometimes it feels like a lottery when the big one looks like the small render.
If it looks better that is the big price

LOL...that water network is a bloody nightmare...well done and I'd love to see how y animate that, heh heh heh

Great job, Hannes. I hope that you get what you have in mind with the animation.

[Hannes]

Thanks. Digitalis99 is out for a vacation at the moment, so our Pixel Plow/Paypal test has to wait for a while, but I am rendering the animation at 600 X 337px on my own machine. I had to restart the whole thing, because I had forgotten something .
I'm at frame 55 of 100 right now. I'll post the animation when it's done.

[Hannes]

Had to throw the animation away.  Forgot some other things...
But here is a lousy little preview animation. No clouds, no shadows, just to see if it's OK so far. The wet shader's minimum altitude is adjusted in the middle of the animation, that's why it's popping.
It's only slightly more than 2MB, so I didn't post it on Vimeo. I hope the quality is OK for seeing what's going on.

I forgot to mention that I used some default shaders instead of the water shaders, so I hope the final animation will look a bit more natural.

I like the animation Hannes.Wish it was longer.

In the animation i am just making you would be surprised how much things i forget.
One with the Sun was the stupidest mistake.
I unchecked "Visible disc" and shadows but not "Glow in atmosphere".
The sun still showed up of course(without a sharp spherical look).
With half HD frame size that wasn't nice.

The lower left part of the water feels kinda like a current.
When do you think can you finish this in the render farm?

[archonforest]

Very promising stuff

[Oleg S.]

I would like to see the final result with animation.

[Hannes]

Me too.

[Hannes]

I posted an updated animation in the animation section.

I posted an updated animation in the animation section.

Animation section?

[Hannes]

Yes, the Terragen Animation section here in the forum:

Btw I still have to tweak this file before I'll upload it to Pixel Plow.

Here is an image of the water settings. The left part is the one Oleg shared. The rest is created by me, but I took bits and pieces of other files, so I'm not quite sure who else is to credit.

i was absolutely thrilled about this perfect renderings of a ship in the sea  (from 2014 !) - i tried to understand and to learn how the settings are made. But the attached original JPEG is to small to read the content - is there anybody who can help me ?

Welcome to the forum. I can't help you read the shaders, but I can tell you that the left block is a foam setup once shared by Dandel0. It should be available somewhere in the file sharing section: https://planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php/board,57.0.html
What the rest does, I don't know, and I'm afraid Hannes has left the forum (and TG). If you have any specific questions, do ask. But a lot can be learned (and downloaded) from older posts. Just ask the right questions in search and read, read, read.
