Unreal Engine 4 Quiet Ocean Scene

Just a simple idea for a scene I had. I wanted to pull off a very quiet calm ocean look that was very reflective with some amazing clouds in the sky reflecting off the water. Overall this one was done very quickly, probably less than 2 hours, which was mostly prep work.
The boat was from turbosquid. I got the clouds off of the Unreal Marketplace but made some massive changes to the shaders to get them where they are now, same with the water and the skydome shaders!

For reference this is the photo that initially inspired me to do this scene - i.imgur.com/ch6eiwN.jpg I wanted to push the orange in the clouds to a bit more of an extreme. I'm aware the colors are extreme but this was done more for artistic reasons than to be realistic :P

and rightFully so , it looks cool dude

[@MrHandyBlock]

Amazing work as always! You're a freakin' artist, man!

[@MrAlucardDante]

Amazing as usual. This looks like a painting

[@thepipe6397]

Very nice

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

the clouds looks pretty intimidating, although the sky looks extremely blue to look "realistic"

[@thedoctor2203]

beautiful

[@jakubpulka]

How did you make those clouds! Which addon did you buy?

[@d3vism]

Simple and elegant. Would have been cool to see how you did it! :)

[@evilmrfrank]

I'll go back to doing the quick scenes at some point, but going to just show some final scenes for a while :)

[@d3vism]

Sounds good mate. I'm sure anything you'd share with will be great :)

J'ai jamais vu un ciel aussi bleu quand un solleil allait se coucher et qu'il projetait ces rayons orange sur les nuages.

incredible

[@StephaneCharre]

Seems good. Looking for more tho ;-)

[@ballemann8885]

Why are there sounds of waves if the ocean is completely still?

[@evilmrfrank]

I didn't want the video to be entirely quiet, could have made it a bit more quiet though for sure :P

[@rojo8399]

What about a little breeze sound? The clouds are moving but there's no waves

[@1stvariant538]

I wish i had your talent :D

[@vytasatvmanstudios]

Are the clouds one large image, billboards or volumetric clouds?

[@evilmrfrank]

The clouds are several different meshes placed, scaled, and colored differently

[@warkarma]

I love the sky! How did you make it? Please share the knowledge!

[@Krokussify]

wow

[@Mrjaksonn12345]

please do a tutorial for the water, I want to add a calm/serene water to my game.

[@evilmrfrank]

It's pretty simple, just need to alter the normal intensity in the shader to make the water much less intensive.

Wow!! Question: Have you heard about Dreams for PS4 coming out (eventually), and, if so, would you consider making scenarios/videos with it? (If you haven't heard of it yet, check out Media Molecule's KZbin, they uploaded a bunch of livestreams of early versions!!)

[@evilmrfrank]

I hadn't heard of it but just looked into it, looks really cool! I'll probably check it out later but probably won't be doing any videos of it on this channel XD

aliasing on the ship is pretty bad

[@VDVit_2013]

Sky is incredibly oversaturated.
