Last day on the sea

Now, as I am still taking baby steps with this program I think this is one of my better pictures. A few recent pictures have inspired this. I would love to render a higher resolution (for my desktop) of this as I am still using the free edition. Any C&C is welcome, I am more than willing to add some realism to this to this. Contact me somehow (email or msn is fine) if you are willing to render this higher for me.

I like the colours, but the tilt is to much.

so less tilt or none at all?

Edit: I had the pixel ratio up a bit on my render so I could see what it would look like, so the tilt was less aparent.

It's a nice image, but I'd agree re the tilt. Less rather than none.

How long did that render take? If it was under 2 hours, I could probably do you a slightly bigger one. What size is your desktop?

Luminos · March 29, 2009, 09:53:28 AM

1280x800, just a laptop. should be well under 2 hours. Just thinking, is there anything I could do to do it for improvments?

Well, when/if someone wants to here is the .tgd and Starmap(if it is needed), just on the background object default Shader

Very nice colors and I like the water, too.

Thanks Calico

Hi Luminos,

Check your email!

Luminos · March 31, 2009, 01:25:10 AM

Very impressed so far

Check YOUR email!

Kudos to Domdib for the larger render

Here is a new render with different settings: Quality 1, AA 3, 2, 2, 8

Unfortunately, there seem to be some small black artifacts on the right in the water. Is there a way of removing them? Will upping AA help for example?

It probably also has to do with the parallel lines you are seeing at the right in the water.

To solve this enable "microvertex jittering" in the extra tab of the renderer.
Hopefully this will also solve the black spots since they're in the same area.

Thanks TU. However, I'm not sure Microvertex jittering will help with the artifacts, as the previous render had this on, and they still appeared.

neuspadrin · March 31, 2009, 05:03:27 PM

what about a new water seed?

I'm not sure either, but I'm sure it will get rid of the lines.

I agree, this seems to be the quickest way of having a chance to get rid of them.

What are the scale sizes of your water shader?
