Hi, Please excuse this repeated question, but the responses I found while searching the forum were old and may relate to the 3dsmax-version. First I would like to ask what would be your best bet on how to approach creating a large scale ocean using phoenix? Second, which sort of relates to the fi…

Do you need some boat to sale on the sea, or what sort of collision is needed? I mean, why use grid sim for the ocean surface? If you need boat wakes and foams, I may try to do it only kind of a locally in directly where the boat is sailing. Then match it in comp with basic deformed geometry surfa…

Thanks Tommi for your response. I’ve seen your example and I like it alot, well done. We will reframe and match partial sims in comp where possible. For many shots where the interaction with the surface isn’t visible, we won’t sim of course. The shots I’m referring to are wide establishing shots …

Sounds nice project izotripp :slight_smile: Yeah, in that case I would like to hear also from Ivo or someone, is it possible to create noise like movement in Phoenix water surface so we could have nice splashes and foams only by moving a ship in grid box?

i made one attempt few months ago, in this scene i used a moving geometry as wave generator. another option is to use the setup of the breaking waves sample scene. perhaps you can put some additional displacement to the water surface

Thanks Tommi and Ivaylo, I’ll make some tests with geometry for waves, also I can probably get the pipeline TD to write me any scripts needed for custom emission of fluids like in the surf-scene. As for my other questions? Regarding distributed calculations on the network? We have installed Phoeni…

there is no distributed simulation yet, we are working on it.
