"Twenty-four years ago a great raid was launched against the Far Coast. Those events led us to travel halfway around the world, to a land called Novindus. What we found down there was a plot to destroy the Kingdom. Ten years ago word reached Prince Arutha that a great army was massing in that part of Novindus called the Westlands. Six years ago i was given command of two thousand men and sent to bolster the defenses of the city of Hamsa. Two thousand men in ten ships went south to Novindus to battle the enemy as far away from home as we might, and only 60 men came home. Less than one in twenty who went before returned, and now, five years after returning home, we go to find these invaders again."

"How? Your lost almost two thousand men, and from what you've said, their army is now twice the size of the one you faced."

[Calis]

"Because we don't travel to Novindus to face this travelling army, Biggo. We travel to Novindus to join it."

(i cut it up and compiled it, otherwise it would be too long)

Time Taken Overall: tooo long
World Machine: 30mins ~ 1hr
Terragen: LOADS
Rendering: 5hrs, surprised it wasnt more, cause im lovin that water
Photoshop: 1hr ~ 1.5hrs

Finally got out of my bad cloud phase i think... i hope, and hope you like.

Woot cool.
but
It kinda seems like its a little island
doesnt look like a "land"
the horizon should be full of land.
its nice.

hmm... i guess so.. but theyre quite far away, and its just your immagination that thinks its small :| and its not that big anyway.

you like descrip?


oh and this is on my dA if anyone wants to comment or wateva there ;)

nice nice, i like it, it looks at most real :D water is great :) everything cool ;)

It looks amazing except for the clouds... the perspective on them looks way off, though I'm not sure why. Great job otherwise though, the textures look great, the reflection is almost perfect, and the water looks magnificent.

-Reflection excellent.....
-Water awesome....
-Terrain very good
-Weather good
-Lightning excellent

dude it worths the time you spend really good job...i like water so much...

Awesome job, dude. Kinda reminds me of this game I played once, called Myst. Dunno if you guys ever heard of it. XD
Perhaps you could increase the ripple size in the water near the bottom, it kinda makes the water actually look like its 'bending' sorta.

yeah, there is a story behind the clouds.. (well not really)... thing is, i *think* that the white... is the sky.. and the blue is the clouds, for two reasons, one, it looks that way fi you look close, two, the density shift was quite high on the clouds

and if you think theyre weird... wait till my next :P

Ah, very good water, looks great. But the clouds are just attracting my eyes. They need some work, maybe do photo manipulation in PS? Anywho, nice work, but the clouds need work.
