A more simple Foam Caps system

[stefan bartram]

the system with both a ocean and foam texture is very hard to control. And why the need for the color correction map and the need to put in values and map in the right order ?

Hey, we gotta understand what effect you are trying to achieve, so we can make it easier for you - so you gotta share more about what you tried to do and what went wrong - thanks in advance!

I assume you are rendering with V-Ray in 3ds Max and are looking at this setup in the docs? https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...BlendSetup.png

You can see that the color correction copies the RGB, but forces the Alpha to 1 - this is needed by the VRayBlend material - you can see that the Scanline setup does not use a Color Correction node. If you plug the Foam tex straight into the V-Ray blend material, you will see that the effect won't behave correctly when the alpha of the foam tex affects the blend.

Cheers!
