WAcky Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) In one of the 3d world magazines over the last few months there was an article on creating cresting waves. I'll see if i can find it in the morning. I know it wasnt for max but it might still be useful. I would personally try some sort of PFlow solution. I think theres also some sort of height (world) based map in max but im not sure... ill have a look for some info on that too.. edit: The map type is 2D and its landscape (lume) No idea of its useability but i saw a video tutorial of someone using it to good effect once...

Tommy L Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Very nice...................grass could use some displacement though. always tricky in animation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think you may have to do it in post. (AE or Combustion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinhtuan Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thanks Tom, I have to finished that job before end of Jun So now that ocean will be peaceful ocean. I'll learn more to add foam later. anyone have ideas to make it please share with us . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinhtuan Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hi all, I have upupdated. The foam created by the blend material with an foam texture. I animated the UVWmap to have moving foams . It look quite funny but I think it's better than nothing . I'll show the animation later .. BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.Mitov Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Looks very good. Congratulations for the good work. The ocean especially is very nice. How was it made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAcky Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hi Dinh, Sorry! I totally forgot Anyways i had a look thru my 3DWorld mags and found it. The only thing is its not for breaking waves or actual beach foam. Its more for cresting waves... They method they use is in the Feb 2008 issue titled "100 greatest 3D movies" I've pm'd you.

foxlee Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 This is really looking great, cant wait to see final.Just one question, I assume you are using vray to render final animation. Does Vray proxies of high poly trees render quicker than image based low polies with lots of detail. You have obviously done this before so have probably experimented with both options.

dinhtuan Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 @Horhe: Thanks! I'll try to do it in post work, I have no change to rerender again @A.Mitov: the ocean made by blend material with 3 materials: water, water near the beach and foam. The mask was paint by Photoshop follow the beach. @WAcky: Thanks you. I'm checking the message @foxlee: The image based low polies alway faster in my experient ( do not use Filltering in Bimap Parameters). I used Vray proxies of high poly because I dont have nice lowpoly tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gods418 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 looks nice, but if you really want better waves with foam you could use SITNI SATI DREAMSCAPE , its a lot easier . good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxlee Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thats what I thought . Pity there is no proper low poly tree collections .The turning the filter settings down is a great tip for speed. I think I will have to make a collection, especially low poly palm trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinhtuan Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 @Ky Lane: Thanks! It took about 1,5 month. @gods418: Thanks, I'll try Dreamscape later @foxlee: some lowpoly tree librarys here: http://www.vbvisual.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
