PheonixFDOceanTexture node difference

[stezza]

Hi folks.
Can anyone clarify the difference between the ocean shader texture back in 2020-21 to the latest release.
I need to locate the early version in the latest release.
Thanks

Ummm, to the right you don't have a Phoenix ocean texture.

Is this the vray plugin tex that allows you to use Phoenix textures in V-Ray without having Phoenix installer?

Hi there.
We have an old project completed a couple of years ago which used the ocean texture on the left. If I remember we purchased a months license but didnt need Phoenix itself for the animated ocean.
We have now purchased the collection but can't find the same OceanTexture in PhoenixFD for Maya.
Just cant remember how or where to located it.

Is your Phoenix plugin loaded in the Maya plugins menu?

You can open the Hypershade and type Phoenix in the search bar and it should show up, where do you search it?

Plugin was on in the plugin manager and previously I couldn't see any phoenix items in the hypershade search. I installed the nightly and now I can see it in the hypershade.
Come to think of it I may have spelt phoenix wrong in the hypershade either way user error strikes again. Many thanks
