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.
