A bit of H2o work

[chefc]

Attempted to get a since of the ocean at day's end C&C encouraged Can't get better unless you ask

That water looks like some of the stuff I saw (and swam through) during the evening on the Mediterranean when I visited Greece.  A pity there's some grain in the atmosphere, but so it goes.

[chefc]

Would increasing the detail in render from .4 or increasing the quality settings  atm now @ 38 samples & Cloud layers @ .62  eliminate the graininess   
Probably a dumb ? but I gotta ask

[old_blaggard]

Don't bother increasing the cloud quality, but upping both of the other settings (especially atmosphere) could help.

This is good work.  o_b is right.  Increasing the atmoshphere samples to 64 might help.

Increasing detail will also change your water a bit too, as would upping AA... and it willl also change your clouds. You may need to make some minor tweaks to these as well after you see the result (cropped renders will help preview it accurately)

Update still a WIP  I incresed atm to 56 tryed 64 but CRASH 
as of yet i have not utilised the crop feature bigben so I will give your suggestions a try
thanks ob for the tip

Sorry to hear about the crash.  56 is real close, though.  Is this the free version?  If so, I've seen / heard about work arounds using crops.  I think Buzzzzz does that.

I actually think it had to do with to many program's running  I'm gonna retry later this weekend I only have the free version for now ,I am registered w/9.43 so its just a matter of time till I utilize the discount

[rcallicotte]

Good.  You'll like the registered version even more.  Especially since the update.
