Sorry for the delay, but I actually did finish it about the time of my last post. I didn't add any more images as there were not many new things to see. It didn't turn out all that spectacular and as I said it's a pity I actually gave up on the ocean wakes on which I worked so hard. I know 1 minute is absurdly low for a rendering, but since this was more of a learning project, the visual presentation was not all that important. And even with all the added effects, I still couldn't have really made it look to good, since it's obviously lacking the detailed planning and modeling required :p. Sad part is the glow effect seems to have messed up (that's what you get for not doing thorough test-renders). I had no idea if 2 or more objects have glow applied to their shaders you need to use a normalization factor to avoid the blinking effect. Anyway, if you're curious in seeing the full animation, I'm going to post a link soon .
