How to make large sea plane with waves (animated)

olem · July 2022

Hi,

I try various solutions to create lage scale ocean (several undreds meters at least) with animated waves. even "animated ocean" (good but only for short views).

I need to see moving waves in realistic large view in a plane and not tiling effects. to put armada of boats saling away. random foam would be nice.

I come from carrara and miss the primitive ocean ! and don't see in DAZ how to have fractal or else to create large and not square tiled Normal map.

I you have an idea, or even a animated scene working, it help me a lot.

thank you

Oliver

I have exported Carrara ocean primitives as a series of obj and loaded them in morphloader then used puppeteer to animate it

Hi Wendy,

thanks for this idea.

I am not familiar with morphing, where is the morphloader you talking ?

Have you an image of the result ?

I still also look for the animated normal shader for plane of large ocean to light DAZ scenes.

Best,

Oliver

under edit object morphloader, you import as many objects with the same vertex count as you wish to create morphsliders, make sure you choose Carrara scale

Puppeteer is under windows, you set a dot for each slider slid to 100 (same as puppeteer in Carrara) then record

animated normals or any textures harder

need a DAZ script

sadly I deleted my video, it was 2014

there is this, I don't own it but I think he created it the same way using Cinema 4D
