Technical Stuff See previous Far Service images for details about the ship herself. The ship mesh is available here in the store for only $50, without the name and logo, but including the cargo. The sea was a “landscape” object, to try and catch the look of a heavy swell. It was textured using ShaderLab 2 shaders, TG Colour Reflectance and a modified version of the TG Slope shaders. trueSpace 5’s “Advanced Volumetrics” were used to create an atmosphere effect - this gives the lights some visibility as if shining through a mist of rain and spray, plus adds the depth cue effect which hazes everything to grey in the distance.
