But that is not open sea. On open sea the waves are there because of wind, and near shores because of water volume getting compressed?

The main thing that 'disturbs' me on the screens is that the waves on open sea havent got a 'direction'.
Near shore they suddenly flow towards the shore. I think you need to expand that area where waves exist due to shallowing of the sea..

But who am i, i'm just a amateur :P.

Yes, there are two types of waves mixed - open sea waves (and they have a direction, but it can be hardly visible in the stills), and shore waves (the surf) that orient themselves perpendicularly to the shore as the water volume gets compressed with rising underwater terrain. These two aren't so tightly related, with relatively calm open sea you can still get the surf, and it appears as if from nowhere.
But you are right, the waves in open sea should be probably bigger, everything is a matter of tuning the parameters now.

I'm still not blogging about anything because a lot of stuff is on very low priority/hold because of my study that is kind of demanding. But maybe when i have time in a few months i'll blog some stuff.

lol ... I asked Cameni if he had a roadmap, and his response was (paraphased) "Well, let's just say we have a map." :lol:

Right now I'm writing a blog post about the water .. I just have to remember how I did it :)

After that I'll probably delve into AMD magic lands once again.

So you were using opencl, right?. I am glsl-programmer and very interested in this! I realized the atmospheric scattering algorithms of nvidia gpugem2 in blender game engine. Hopefully your blog will motivate me for also researching watershaders >_>

It's not suitable for really big waves, those will have to be modeled better if you want to have a close up detail there too.
