Nature Environment Question

As for scatter - it's in our development plans to add it to Maya.

awwww yisss!

There's plenty of tree and other types of vegetation assets in Chaos Cosmos, built into V-Ray for Maya.
The assets are proxies and you can use them with MASH as shown in Carlos's tutorial a few posts back.

that’s great to hear, Yolov. Nice that you listened to feedback and the vray community.

Hello again!

I've got to do a short video showing a ships capabilities. What is the best way to achieve an ocean environment?

I don't need crashing waves or any simulation (I do have the complete suite that includes Phoenix for Maya though).

Here is an example of the kind of ocean environment:

Have you tried Boss? it's very easy and realistic.
You can start with a scene example from the Effects menu.

[hunter_williams]

I haven't but after looking at a quick tutorial it looks pretty straightforward.

The tutorial is for Arnold so I need to find a decent V-ray ocean shader to use.

[damaggio]

Start with the Vray water shader and adjust it for your scene size then remember to save the preset for your library.

[hunter_williams]

Are you referring to this?

[damaggio]

Sure that could be another option, but I was referring to Vray material water preset.

[yolov]

You can give it a go with the Phoenix Ocean texture: https://docs.chaos.com/display/PHX4M...enixFDOceanTex

Just wanted to share an update:

Rough WIP:

Looking good but you didn’t mention what method you decided to use.
