yea. this looks very nice plugin.

Just upgraded to 9 and so this plug-in no longer works. Anyone know if it will be recompiled for 9? I remember someone said they contacted the creator, any word back?

Unfortunately no,

either I got stuck in his spam filter or he is on a veeeery long holiday.

Best regards,

I just tried sending him an email as well. I'll let you know if I hear of anything.

I think he's really a "long on answers" man, as I yesterday recieved his reply about recompiling for max9 x64 - it was several weeks as I sent him mail.
So his reply was smth like " I'm glad to, but won't have any legal opportunities... no max9 here ". I told him, I wold be glad to test his plugin... still no reply on this.... Always though, max sdk is freely available via autodesk developer site. Smth like http://sparks.discreet.com/

There is an update on his site dated 3/11 where he says he will be updating to max 64bit.

[Paul Oblomov]

Oh, of course he will, the question is WHEN

done some foam in different ways. first idea for whitecaps would be using a world coordinate gradient to create a foam map. Another way would be using an inverted dirtmap. Yet another method would be using an anglebased map. Or a combination of the three. These maps could also be used to generate spraying form to some extend (using mapbased birth and PFlow)

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if you had any pointers for the foam map. Im trying to get foam around objects that are half submerged in the water. I have tried putting a vay dirtmap into the reflection, refraction slots, but the effect is only very slight..is there a way to increase the dirtmap density ? Or any other tips on how to do this type of shader ?

Thanks

stick your dirtmap into a rgb multiply.

[stevesideas]

Thanks. I'll give that a go..
