Surfing Water?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I am purchasing the following Surf and poses product:

https://www.daz3d.com/z-surfboard-and-poses-for-genesis-3-and-8

Does anyone know how the water was rendered ... what product? Or which product in DAZ would be good for waves to place these poses in?

Thanks.

    The water in the promo is just Iray water, there are many packages that have water like that. For waves, this is probably the best option https://www.daz3d.com/fluidos-presets-waves

    Thank you FSMC. 

    I looked at some of the different wave products and that one is the closest to what I need.. too bad it looks like it has a big learning curve and requires two products. Nothing is ever easy. smiley

    If you want to try something quick and easy (and free) do a search for "smoke texture map" or anything you think might look like waves. Make a big plane (about as big as the ground grid in DS) and make sure it has a decent amount of divisions. Then convert the surface to Iray Uber Base and apply the texture to the displacement map. You'll have to increase the Min/Max limits to around -2 and +2 and increase the displacement subdivision. After that, it's mostly just making adjustments to get the look you want. If you need more help I can post a picture of my settings.
