I re-asked this question and added all necessary files and images, so its more clear what my problem is: now u can download the textures and blend file and render and see what i'm talking about :)

I followed this tutorial here: Youtube Tutorial

When zoomed closer to the ocean, it looks great but as soon as i zoom out wide, (what i want to do for a clip i need for my bachelors exam, it looks plasticy suddenly, it loses detail and looks horibly undetailed. like an 90's cgi scene.

I want the sun reflections on the ocean but it looks way off when zoomed out.

Download Blend file: Ocean blend file

Download Ocean displacement textures: Ocean texture files

All ocean displacement renders,for the entire animation duration are uploaded at wetransfe.

Can someone please help me and explain why this happens?

  • $\begingroup$ The thing is, i want to use real life numbers, so my camera is like 2km above the ocean surface, i have this sun - world hdri - from the tutorial and i want to move a plane through the shot, so in reality, u would see detailed waves and shimmer from the suns reflection, but it just looks flat, how big and where would i have to add the noise then? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I have never been in this situation but I wouldn't be suprised if a calm ocean looked like this from 2km in the sky with the sun this close to the horizon. $\endgroup$
