They were smart enough....

Yepp! They were smart - and obviously you're too, Ulco  8) :)

It's been a while, but in the meantime the series has been finished in hires. Book will come out later this year. Yet another era needs to be depicted before that, so here's a test. A lot of water, but the trees will be different,  in zones along the river. Some ruins and new farms will be added too, replacing what's there now. Perhaps even an inundated bridge, or ice flows... who knows.
Now I'm trying to get fast flowing water in a shallow inundated depression, and a wintry sky.

Just the right transparency and reflection. Nice little ripple too :)

good luck with the fast flowing water, I'm sure you'll conquer that soon'nuff. re: the boat bridge conundrum, wouldn't they have collapsing masts to get under bridges...seems logical to me.

Yes, I've changed the mast into a collapsable one. All done  ;)

Next iteration and some location tests, but it can turn out quite different in the end.

I like the trees in the water very much.
Nice developement!

How do you get so accurate with your painted shader displace, or are these image maps?

Dune

Image maps, much easier.

Me too, the mirror image in the water is kinda "magical" at least to me.

I agree but I have a hard time getting them to real world scale and not being stair-stepped along the edges for smaller features....got a trick for that Ulco?...I'm all ears and eyes on that.
