The beach

A render i've made this afternoon, i hope you like it. I will insert something this evening or tomorrow, like a boat or something else. Critics are wellcome as ever ;D

:thumbsup: Looks like you got the coloring right, but your water seems to have the same bump texture as your land. You need to smooth it out, and maybe add a fresnel shader.

Not bad - a couple of points...

1, Have you considered a very slight fog, maybe max 15% at full distance to add to the impression of depth in the scene?

2. That water is VERY blue for such a low angle sun. I've only really seen such strong blues on tripoical islands at mid day...

Nice to see a shallower slope shore though - far to many tutoroials assume the sort of steep slope only found in a fjord!

Good looking water, how did you create it? Can't figure out the shadows though - where's the shadow left of the front boat coming from?

Looks to me that the shadows are laying in the right direction for the position of the sun. Great work BTW. Nice refraction.

Not the shadows on the right, but the one on the left of the front boat. That doesn't look motivated to me...

Hi i'm back in Rome finally! Mmm... let me see... Ok i understood, you thinking that the refraction of the underwater boat on the left is a shadow but it is not. I made the same error when i did the first render and i did not understand where was that shadow coming from, but it is not a shadow :) Thanks for the appreciations on the water, i let you download the material from our server hoping you'll enjoy. :thumbsup:
