Phoenix Ocean Sim Artifacts

[burak_serin]

Hello,

Not sure if it is an artifact but I`m getting these straight lines on my ocean sim. I`m basically using ocean sim preset and following ship in the ocean tutorial. I`m using Maya 2024 and phoenix 5/vray 7. Liquid sim is in the same group with the animated ship and I`m using meters. If I turn motion inertia off it goes away but then it doesn`t give me the waves created by the boat. I feel like this is a common problem with an easy solution Would love to get help!



Thanks,
Burak

Hello Burak,

Indeed this is a known problem that doesn't have a proper fix I'm afraid - a possible solution would be to make the simulator a bit longer and place the boat not so close to the edge.

If you use a static simulator that is not parented to the boat movement it should look better, but you will have to use longer simulator, which means - larger cache files and longer simulation time.

hey georgi.zhekov thanks for your fast reply. Making the grid longer and placing the boat now so close to the edge makes sense. Thanks for your tip!
