Honora NiwlcraftI got free oil paints to prepare for the workshop. It's practice time!
Painted this for the workshop to explain that water is mostly sky reflections on the grazing angles and wave crests, while the backside allows us to see trough the water where it's purely absorption and scattering based on depth.
Left: RTX off 🤣
Stefan Ihringer@NiwlCraft Thanks for sharing this practical example! I remember that from compositing CG water into live-action footage. I'd match the water rendering w/o reflections to what the real water looks like on the shadow side of ships. And once that was done I'd match the reflection pass to the sky without modifying the diffuse or subsurface scattering.
I once took this photo to remind myself that an ocean (without strong reflections or whitewater) can have a totally out of place color.

Harley 🐝🌿@compfu @NiwlCraft every single close-up analysis of the real world reveals some new bizarro detail that if you showed someone out of context, they'd tell you it was wrong and it never ceases to amaze me
