A little side fun I was having for the past 3 weeks, hope you guys like it.
Ocean done with Maya Boss system and lidar USGS mountain ranges in the BG. Smoke= Janga FX.

Hehe...only a few days ago a scene very much like this was in my head to make, after watching something on the omnipresent climate change situation and also playing
a game called Sniper:Contracts, set in Siberia, plus rewatching GoT....so all very wintery

You've gone and done it for me! Excellent job too. The ocean looks great but particularly the foam looks very natural.

Thanks Bart, sometimes we seem to be synched...oceans and deserts.
The foam is from Dosh Design boat wakes, it's just the foam texture with Vray Decal.

Ah ok, interesting....I see they're giving them away so will take a look.
Yeah it's a funny coincidence but it also was really helpful and timely with Monument Valley, so I may take this version as a push to
go ahead and see what I can develop in the snow...

nice as always, the boat on the background seems a bit out of scale

Hi sirio76 , yeah I thought the same way when I imported the model, it's probably the double chimney stacks that give the appearance of a larger ship, the Lorina was 291 feet and the cargo ship is 325 feet long, thank you though.

fixeighted ...funny clip Bart.

Just my monitor (and my eyes) or icebergs and background sky have a too strong light blue tint?
Ocean, ship foam, the background mountains and the clouds shadow are really nice. Well done!

My only suggestion for an improvement is that the ship hull is everywhere dry when, with that kind of waves, I'm expecting that a bit more of wet on the hull sides.

[damaggio]

Thanks bardo, agreed, I could have updated the water line to be more wet indeed. The saturation of the blues can also be because of the more vibrant colors on ACES as well as monitor calibration, it is also found in photography
in a variety of shades, in the end you got to make your final artistic call though.

Trying some rough weather while Francine hits here in New Orleans.

Thank you haniel1107

Here's the final version.....I think.

The big berg seemed to be too much centred, plus used the more dramatic sea version looks better imo, so couldn't resist tweaking to see how it looked...hope you don't mind
