Artistic ocean

I created this short ocean scene using 3D Max 2008. My intention was to create an animation that appears more like a painting, rather than trying to be "realistic". This is the closest I could get without using any plugins.

I used a simple plain for the sea, adding animated noise and ilterations for the wave effect.

The material used for the water effect is a mix of bump map and reflection. Maps used are noise and falloff.

The sun image is already on the enviroment map, but an omni light is used for the added light and shadow effect on the water.
