I wish I could show off what I am doing. :) In a few months, if the projects gets greenlighted, I will.

You were just visualizing, and it looks like you put a lot of hard work into it! I wish I could see the .blend. Well I guess the quality of the materials doesn't matter for the job?

I agree with most of the comments posted above. I'm fairly happy with the ocean, but I struggled a bit with illumination and the materials of the ship. For the light set up, I wanted to give the impression of sunlight from a (almost) clear sky. I had a hard time though, balancing the light on the two sides of the ship. Getting enough light in the shade without getting burnouts on the sunny side. I would have liked to work more on the materials of the ship, but in the end I ran out of time. I found some materials in on-line material repositories, but I couldn't find a good material for painted steel. This is of course what is needed for the entire hull and superstructure. Any help here is welcome... I hope to have more time tuning these settings next time. Having learnt a lot about using blender, the time need for modelling will probably be cut in half for the next visualization project. About rendering time: 1280x800 pixel renders took just under one hour on an Athlon dual-core 64-bit processor with 1.5G RAM. The complexity of the model didn't seem to affect the rendering time much. Leaving out the ocean however, would cut rendering time by two. Dan Thanks for all the feedback.

I have been working on a ship for quite a while (I work on it every once in a while, then put it away, then every month or two put 10 or 20 hours into it). The ideas given in the talk backs look to be a good idea too, and its interesting to hear that (at least in a limited way) people are using Blender for CFD (via models, the game engine, particle engine, etc). Very nice. Bob Very nice ship! I have been working on a ship for quite a while (I work on it every once in a while, then put it away, then every month or two put 10 or 20 hours into it).
