Description
My first good result after playing around with deforming water. Sorry about the grainy atmosphere, I had the atmospheric samples all the way up at 200 and it still got kinda grainy. The clouds were at .8 detail as well I think, but apparently it wasn't enough. Overall, this render took around 36 hours I think @ 1280x800. Here's the .tgd so you can see how I achieved this effect: http://www.meltingice.net/downloads/index.php?share=4&path=scenes%2FTidal%20Wave.tgd

amazing clouds and light -- could the clouds be too rough?? or too much contrast in the pattern??
Beautiful surface, terrain and sky!!!
Never could we get waves like this in Terragen 0.09. I think you are on to something Ryan. Very nice render.
xlt work on the wave
The grainy look is only on the clouds, not in the atmosphere, so I think it's the cloud samples that you should increase... I think you could even decrease atmosphere samples without really seeing the difference (except it render time :P) Great work anyway, I just think the clouds are a bit too dense and that the blue sky could be lighter, but it's a matter of taste...
Excellent water effects!!!
Good job, i will try it out.
I love the water! Yeah! The clouds could need less edge sharpness imho.
