IC Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 What software? Have you modelled the beach? The water? Some details would help an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkoumout Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 ya okay sorry about that, im in 3d VIZ working on a still image. ive started the water, but being very new in the program i will be going back and forth between different techniques.

IC Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 This is probably one of the most difficult things to simulate but there are a few tutorials around. I did this in 5 minutes in Terragen. Wouldn't have a clue how to get there in ordinary 3d apps. Don't suppose that helps you much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHE Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Why not do it in post-production? Here are some links to a couple of Photoshop tutorials you could use. http://www.websitetemplatedesign.com/oscommerce_tutorials/tutorial_194.shtm http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/38173058/ http://www.tutorialselect.com/frametut.php?id=6218&tutorial=http://www.heathrowe.com/tuts/watertexture.aspl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Now look what you've done! I've become obsessed with the shore settings in Terragen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHE Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Now look what you've done! I've become obsessed with the shore settings in Terragen! Nice stuff IC. I took you image into Photoshop. I hope you don't mind. Here is what I ot after 20 min of work. It is not perfect but it kind off gives an idea of what could be done with more time.

Camby1298 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Somebody has to know how to make an animated material/shader for foam on water. If you look at some of challenege three movies, Alexandre Malignan for example, there were animations where this event happened. How though I dont know.

Da_Elf Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 http://www.elfpro3d.com/GS/Savoy/jetty.jpg this was something i was working on for a beach scene. all done in 3dsmax. right where the water meats the bech is added in a foam texture. there is a gradiant which darkens the sand as well at from the shore break out to the ocean edge of the land mesh so that the sand looked wetter. i was also going to add in a gradient reflection map for the wet part as well but thought it was overkill. the dry part of the sand is with a lighter sand color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hi, Michael! Good to see you around! The foam could also be done playing with cellular maps and gradients. You could mix them and have a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
