Wow, 2.5 sections of land in 22.9 feet, assuming 8 feet tall as well. This is another of your mind blowers in the making I can just tell...keep on rockin the forum with this stuff.

So what is with the second wheel? Is that like a spare?  what were these things used for historically?.. I guess for grain?
It has been eaten.

Looks great Ulco. I know it's based on the painting, but did you ever try early morning with some mist from the water? I think something like that would enhance the mood even more. Just a thought though.

Mist might be nice indeed. As our country is very flat, water power is rare, and these medieval guys had a smart way to divert small streams along altitude lines until the gathered water was enough to power a wheel (or three [ there's another one hardly visible] at turns, as I think that's what the other wheels are for, different machinery attached). They were used to power hammers to grind paper mash for paper making. Later they were used for grinding wheat, and even later for making electricity.

What's the numbers you're rattling off, Bobby? You're speaking in riddles  ???

A 7 m wide wall would be 22.9 feet and I was assuming that it's 4 km square of land, which works out to be 2.5 sq miles or 2.5 sections; a section being a square mile. I'm old enough to be more able to visualize imperial rather than metric. That, I guess, was more for my use and it got unfortunately verbose.

Ah, yes, you imperials  ;)

This is picture perfect. Beautiful job!

The water in the last one is superb - Plane? glass or water shader?

Dune

I made a simply object in the wood gutter and down, and added a glass shader in TG, with some displacement and foam that didn't show up  ;) The splashes is a mix of white and displacement in the lake (plane) and a pop of small rocks.

Wow, this is really impressive. The water splashes look great!

Waterfall process for the future?

I built another mill, but didn't add as much detail. Some mistakes as well, but it won't be seen very close anyway.

Much improvement. Noticed the ripples around the splash are more evident here. And, the lighting with this sun position is softer yet with details overall. Very nice.

I actually like this one better. It's simplicity improves it IMHO.
