Hi All... inspired by Dan's Maldives image and info (thanks Dan), I have made this little WIP. The water is not right and the texturing has a way to go. All comments and suggestions warmly welcomed...
Cheers, Simon.
good image ... the water needs some transparency and some waves ...it looks like a flat mirror
I don't agree with aymenk, the scales of the water is just right compared to the size of the islands. With a calm sea this is probably exactly as it will look like in real life.
A tad more transparency would be nice, but not too much.
The next step might be to find a bit more interesting seed for your terrain, maybe get something more atol like?
Good work so far!

Thanks guys, I'll tweak the transparency and mess with the Island shapes a bit. I might go with a few different weather situations when I get closer to convincing Island shapes. I'll keep these shapes on file as I like the unreal artistic smoothness of them. ::) I think I'll get busy with Dune's Breaker tutorial (does this teach me windmills and head spins?) ;D
Cheers, Simon
Hi
Wonderful!
Again an image where I wish to have/see a deckchair with my towel ;)
ciao

Funny, I like these more simplified, abstract shapes. Not realistic perhaps, but sort of... symbolic, iconic. A good image already IMO, but if absolute realism is what your after, the tweaks you and others mention will probably help.

Here's another iteration... not too much more, mainly island shapes and water transparency. More to come... and Thanks Oshyan.
Simon.
lovely view
you've got it this time even the cloud are in the right place ...
nice image...
Thanks Seth and aymenk2003... I've got another one rendering at home... with a little amusing detail. I'll keep ya posted.
Just a small set of stones added.... can you spot them? ;D
Cheers, Simon.

That wouldn't be a rescue, would it? It looks really nice down there :)

well.... there is a SOS written with a fake stones shader in that last render.
its all up to him really...
excellent work - nice place to retire to. 8)

I think the longer he stays there the more he'll want to stay. There are some lovely spots for kite surfing. The waves are going to take a bit of time as Dune says, they need a lot of tweaking, so for now I'll tweak them in another tgd until I get them right. I am going to play water colour and with the pops distribution a bit, add some stones (more stones) etc...
On another note, someone at work asked me where this was... I love Terragen. ;D Thanks for all the comments so far
