    Is it possible to animate water?

    I am searching the web to find a tutorial how to animate water in Rhino with Vray-Plugin.
    Maybe there is a way to change between two bumpmaps in Blendmapping mode.
    Like fix some atributes maybe Multi and scale of two bumpmaps and blend them slowly over.

    thanks for any idea.

    At this point, there is no way to animate maps in VfR. Sorry. You can try moving the surface itself, but that's not going to look very convincing.

      THX for the info Dalomar.
      Maybe in the next Versions of Vray for Rhino.
      I am waiting for active shading too. :-\

        Probably not for the next versions of VfR. At this point we aren't having much of a demand on these kinds of advanced animation features. We get a request every once and a while, but that's it. Because of how many other things we have to do, how much effort it would take to include these features, and the small level of interest in it, its not something that we can spend our time on currently.

        The best bet for these features getting added is a strong release of Bongo 2. Right now animation itself is limited in Rhino because of Bongo, so hopefully a new version of Rhino will lift some of the current restrictions and increase the user base for animation within Rhino. Last I heard the first WIPs should be in a week or two.

          So if bongo would allow to animate mapping widgets than two or more wave bump maps could be moved over a sea surface. Maybe Andy could add this feature to Bongo 1 per SR.

            I doubt its that simple on our end or Andy's. If its something that "just happens" (which I highly doubt) then okay, but at this point, I doubt this will get any attention in the near future.
