Adding Volume to an ocean plane

coolhand71

Hi! 

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to add volume beneath a plane like the following example:

https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0x2953399124f0cbb46d2cbacd8a89cf0599974963/51995574628917201774373647250366583101979250423167052709357797206344027078657

I was able to add the animated ocean plane to my scene and then a cube below it, but the volumetric cube below it doesn't follow the animation - it creates seeable gaps like the cube is wearing an ocean hat.

Any ideas on how to merge these two together to make one cohesive unit?

 

Thanks!

J.

There's a tutorial showing how to make a waving flag using dForce ... I think the same principles would help make that animated ocean surface with the attached ocean cube.

I make building fronts by creating a plane... cutting the windows out and using Thickener

so you could take any plane ... in this case a desert ... thicken it and add a water shader
stick a light emtting cube in it...
