IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

A duel between an english and a french fregate. A battle that could have
happened any time in the beginnig of the 19th century during the war against
Napoleon.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Modeling was done with Moray 3.3.
Clouds/atmosphere : consists of three concentric spheres; outer sphere has a
gradient texture; mid sphere has a "hazy" texture; inner sphere carries an
extremely zoomed granite texture forming the clouds.
Ocean : heightfields for larger waves plus bump map for smaller ripples.
coastline : heightfield with a media object simulating some haze.
ship hull : several bezier meshes created with Hamapatch that were imported into
Moray via sPatch.
Sails : Bezier patches created with hamapatch. Texture consists of an image map
plus bump map. Several maps are used so that the various sails also look
different.
Cannon ball impact on water : heigtfields wih bright texture
Rendering : anti-aliasing and radiosity used. Radiosity had a positiv effect on
the the appareance of the water.
