Description

Another attempt at a photo-realistic piece. I cheated a little by adding strong atmospheric effects and blurring out the land just a tad. Still, I'm relatively happy with the outcome. Rather than using the Ocean modifier in Blender, I used some Musgrave textures to displace the surface. I think - for the goal of relatively calm water - it is a better process than the modifier. Also, I had a devil of a time getting the atmospheric effects just right, when trying to use the new Volumetrics nodes. So, I opted to go with a few planes, with a combination of nodes to create a cumulative effect on the progressively distant islands.
