Free Ocean Waves Sim

Now that would be a cool "depth" test for the water

[aphex79]

is it possible to make an adaptive function to this sea? Calling maxscript gurus... ..Lele?

[trixian]

What would be nice, was if the guy wrote this as a procedural map for max9 for use with displacement or normal map creation.

[dimo]

hehe,

I contacted the guy if he minds to share some code because I would prefer the polygonless variant for VRay

Best regards,

dimo you god you
still hopping to see the new beta version you mentioned on your blog

[flavrsaver]

This would be fantastic if it could be made into a procedural map. I haven't been able to work on my ocean recently, but hope to get more time next week.

I did some tests with oceanwave

here is what I got:

So your gonna share your water shader right

[percydaman]

4 stars man. Im also curious how the shader was done.

[ene.xis]

freakin amazing man!

please do share!

[Felix2]

Thanks!

shader is very simple. it has the common water material settings and vraymaterial fog used.

For environment I used hdri.

For foam I used top/bottom material. This was done very quickly just that I can see if it works and it did quite well but not perfectly the top/bottom adjustment can be done a lot better I think.. it just needs some time. I plan to maybe try some particle emission form the top waves. this can be done in thinking particles with matterwaves which is quite handy when it comes emitting by material color. If I get any time I will try it.

Btw I did some color corretion in fusion5 and added some shappire effects like grain, glow, littlebit distort etc.

Very nice! By "top/bottom material" do you mean vray 2sided material?

[DaForce]

I would say he means Max's top/bottom material, its good for things like snow caps on mountains.etc..etc... hence at a pinch it would work well here

[Felix2]

yea. it is max top/bottom

[jreynolds]

Ideally this is what you would want to use for the foam
