My wish list for future releases would be - (not in any order..)
1) Happier integration with vray. Sometimes it can take a day and many test renders for dreamscape to 'get started' when I use it on a new scene.
2) More cloud types
3) Better/easier control over cloud scale (could just be me though..)
4) Sea bump material to be available as a procedural texture for use with vray displacement.
5) Much more 'calm' sea detail. At the moment I can get massive rolling waves (grid detail settings 1-8 ) but only have setting 9/10 to play with when I need a detailed calm sea. Also the ability to go below a setting of 0.1 for the grid spacing , again, in order to get more detail from small waves. I find this really important because I have to produce images that sell boats. None of my clients want to see thier boats in a big heavy sea, so in order to achieve the short choppy wave look (100/200mm wave height) I often have to scale up my boat. Would be nice not to have to do this.
6) An option to use a gradient or image map in the ground colour tab would be really usefull. This would help me cheat a good looking subsea.
7) A really easy to use 'shore line interaction' feature which would deal with waves and foam against beaches/docks etc. (ok, so that's asking a bit too much..... :roll: )
8 ) Some 'horizon' clouds that were separate from the rest of the cloud settings - these could even be 2d seeing as they would be in the distance. I often have trouble getting good looking clouds on the horizon.
That's about it for the moment!
Regards,
Rob.
