DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Damn, a lot of work..:) The sea is two planes deformed with the magnet tool. There are some little meshes mixing with particles system for the foam. The sky is blendind with a mist and a red spot for the volumetric light. Sails are meshes deformed with lattices to give the wind. For the boat, i use an old model i've made some months ago but almost all the details were missing. I use often alpha maps to model the small objects with transparency. The big part after was that the lighting. Something like 15 lights, maybe more...
