I’ll also be adding some particle effects for spray and splash, but I’m reasonably happy with the water, both material and geometry.
UPDATE: click below for 900x700. I’m going for a really brilliantly sunlit day, with a bit of an artistic flare. The 900x700 is much better looking than the one appearing here in the thread, so please click.
I would expect sea water to be darker. If there were no reflections, one could think it is meant to be sand. Maybe a darker material and some fresnel tweaking? Or less reflection? Probably it’s only the light sky that’s being reflected too much.
Looking good so far. It could be neat to do a some differing colors of water in the ocean, as is so often the case. The water looks good, though. Looking foward to more.
