Calm water spots on Phoenix ocean mesh

[alberto_frulla]

Hi everyone!
I'm really cousious on how to get this effect of calm water spots in the ocean mesh. It looks very realistic but I can't find any setup or command to achieve that.
Hope someone can help me! thanks!

Maybe try to control the scale displacement in the ocean texture map. I tested it real quick to give an example thats pretty noticeable, but I think learning how to control the noise and mapping, you can probably get that effect using this method. Its the closest thing to a vray blend I found that will break up the ocean texture into some other patterns.

Hey,

Just published a template scene of how this works. It's using the exact method Swihartc mentioned in his post - a regular Noise texture inside of the Ocean texture Displacement Scaling slot.

Attaching a screenshot of how the scene looks and you can get it from here - https://docs.chaos.com/display/PHX4M...-InfiniteOcean

Cheers!
