W_Clear is more the ''artist'' type than a computer programmer. Looking back at his work in SH4, man it was a revolution in the environement. Then Kriller and others teamed along and sealed the deal.

I am amongst those who are satisfied with the current SH5 graphics, but if Clear see room for improvements then it can only get better. I have faith.

I Agree

I know this is be WIP to be perfect and appreciate your great efforts W_Clear

My observations/opinions:

Water Color variation excellent with wind speeds 4+

Water color and wave look too smooth and unrealistic at wind speeds 0-3.

Water too "glasslike" and reflective at 0 to 3 knot wind. Also Needs a bit more transparency

Heres stock water at 0 wind. Notice the sub below the water has greenish tint. Great effect by the devs.
Stock waves ripples at low wind look perfect already. Maybe just tweak color and leave waves patterns stock?

New wave animations and pitch/roll seem to be working good at wind 3+

Sun size and color good. Could use more sun-flare but thats Nvidia's problem

Still have "metallic water" problem however with version 1.1

Just my suggestions for improvement. Keep up the great work

W_Clear, i loved your work for Sh4, and am looking forward to the things you will do with Sh5.

I also have the metallic water thing the posters above have reported. so yeah there's room for improvement.
I really love what you have done with the sunrise and sunset and the reflections in the water of stars and moon. Very Very nice

I want to add my voice to the choir thats cheering you on, keep up the good work!
