Animated Water Ship Spray

Does anyone know if there is a way of animating water spraying over the bow of a ship in heavy seas in DAZ Studio? Also making an animated ship wake?Any help appreciated!  Cheers

Have you looked at https://www.daz3d.com/fluidos-for-daz-studio ?

I haven’t  used it, but it sounds like something that might work.  Another possibility is that Blender has fluid simulation. I recall Sickleyield having a tutorial on it on her deviantart site.

Thank you for your reply.I have tried Blender but the learning curve is far too great for me! I really wish DAZ Studio could come up with a fluid simulation or particle system! I do not have Fluido's but I do not want to spend unecessary money on programs that do not do what I want! If anyone has used this program could they tell if it will do animated sea sprays and ship wakes? Cheers

Fluidos can do the spray and wakes. See this at youtube (You'll see a high resolution animation at last seconds).

However, it's a very difficult task to get great size scene (an ocean) doing the same. It'd need very huge computer resources and a long long time.  

This scene use a medium resolution simulation (from this product https://www.daz3d.com/fluidos-presets-waves.

For close-up, a high resolution simulation is very good. But if you want  a wide shot, it's better to mix in scene the high resolution fluid simulation as foreground and, for the background, the Ocean system you already have (another simulation a greater scale with lower resolution could be the background too).
