Cao mode and cutter problems

[ben_hamburg]

Hey guys,

I wanna render a ocean sim in cap mode and use a gizmo to cut off the sides, since I?m using a waveforce setup and wanna get rid of the parts where the grid becomes visible through the waveforce sim...

But the cutter doesn?t cut the whole outside, instead I get something like this:



is it possible to use the cap mode with a cutter without getting the box on the side?

If i use a black floor and just render it in mesh mode, I can mask out most of the sides, since the reflections there are mostly black, but tehre will still be a lot of rotoscoping I?d like to avoid if possible...

Hey, yes - the cutter would clear mesh data inside the container, but the ocean render modes would still do their thing connecting the mesh to the walls. Maybe a boolean or a V-Ray clipper would work better for this?

[ben_hamburg]

Hm, boolean seems like a surefire way to crash max... But I?ll give both ideas a go, thanks for the input!

[ben_hamburg]

Yeah, Vraylipper is the way to go, thanks again!

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Woohoo! Glad this way it's okay
