Hello,

I need to do some waves, stills and animation.
The problem is that i dont know where to start.
Right now we have a base done with phoenix fd and then we will photoshop the waves. The problem is the animation.

Some references:

someone already did it in 3D:

If we could achieve this (min 2:10) would be great.

Anyone have some ideas?

Thanks

For true realism, best to use simulation software such as Chaos Phoenix (included with Corona Premium).
