awe, AVGWarhawk, I thought you were above pointing out the obvious. Truth is, w_clear's water looks *the best* even with the minor drawback of occasional farmpond/plastic effect.

PE2.1 will have new water, we shall see...

'Notice the foreground, it's alive. But not choppy from wind. The sets pile into the reef (top of the frame) and break with or without wind'


I didn't realise it was breaking wind that causes waves, though bathtime experiments comfirm this.........:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

w_Clear,

Looks great to me.....very realistic.
If you had not mentioned it, I would have thought it was a real photo shot.

Keep up the good work.

AVGWarhawk, LOL. so true. so true.

this all started when w_clear said he'd been out in an unnamed sea and saw MIRRORED/FARM POND surfaces. Having sailed every sea on this planet more than once, I simply called BS.

Besides, if I wasn't such a big fan of w_clear's Mod, I wouldn't be posting here at all. The first time I saw the farmpond *while* out to sea (EE4.2) I thought I was in the Eye of a Hurricane! Very scurry.

I was just about to post the eye of the hurricane calmness then finished reading your post! Good point and well taken, if you did not think you were adding to his mod with constructive criticism the you would not have posted. I experienced the dead calm of the eye once but on land. I looked up as everything just stopped. To my surprise the eye was overhead, clear and blue with a mass of clouds in a circle spinning around. Very scary indeed. Needless to say I was at college and playing mud football out in the hurricane drunk as a skunk:rotfl:The good ole days.

I was attending the University of Hawaii when Hurricane Eva hit, the Marine Biology department north of Makapu'u capture some footage of THE EYE... it was incredibly flat, plastic, and mirrored. It was if that portion of the sea was trying to HIDE from the Hurricane.

I've sailed into doldrums and seen sea so smooth it looked like glass... Not a breath of wind, not a cloud in the sky, not a ripple on the water... (Thank God for weather telemetry!)

Some of the other posts I read walrusbomb, you would understand why I point out the obvious. :rotfl:
