Multiple simulations in infinite ocean

Phoenix General

Hi Guys

Hope someone can help.

I am about to begin a shot where the camera will be flying in-between multiple boats on the ocean. These boats are fairly evenly spaced apart say 100m. I will be wanting to simulate these as separate simulations, but to have the infinite ocean match from boat to boat. Is this possible. Has someone else down separate simulations before that needed to be in the same ocean.

Cheers

Hey,

Just make sure that all of the simulators are in Ocean mode and they will be merged into a single ocean surface. It’s important that the simulator borders are not overlapping as this may produce some mesh artifacts.

This functionality is implemented only for 3ds Max though, it’s still in the to do list for Maya.

Cheers!
