Two problems with water

[superrune]

Hi again!

I'm trying to get some good-looking ship wake with Phoenix FD, but I'm not getting it right.

First, I tried following the ship wake tutorial on YouTube for Phoenix FX 2. The water looks great, but the foam dissipates almost immediately. I wonder if this could be a units thing? My Max has system units set to cm, while the tutorial use meters. Could that be an issue?

Here's how it looks:

Here are the settings for the Phoenix Liquid Object:



Second, instead of learning the basics through a tutorial, I thought I'd just use the excellent presets instead. But that didn't even render! Actually, the mesh object is created hundreds of meters away from the camera frustum!


Any clue on why this would happen?

Hey,

Which version are you using? Did you try a latest nightly build?

If this still doesn't work, please send the scene over to Support. Are you using a Physical camera, or a dome cam, etc?
