The warmth level quality of the Ocean Wake Foam Texture node works hand-in-hand with the Heat/Voxel/Sec quality of the Ocean Wake Emitter node. Heat/Voxel/Sec, originate in the solution Attributes segment, joystick the wake concentration. Superior standards augment the foam breadth and create the foam additional not clear. When adjusting the Heat/Voxel/Sec characteristic, you resolve have to play again the Timeline to observe an correct consequence. If the foam survives for as well a lot of frames and you’d similar to it to fade absent additional rapidly, raise the Dissipation quality, which is established in the hotness paragraph of the OceanWakeFoamTexture quality Editor tab. on the other hand, if the foam disappears too quickly at the back the boat, subordinate the value. When the Dissipation worth is distorted, you will have to play again the Timeline to observe a correct consequence.
You can insert extra vanishing to the foam by growing the Edge Dropoff quality, which is establish in the Shading segment of the OceanWakeFoamTexture quality Editor tab. Higher principles reason the mass of the foam inside the quantity form to fade additional rapidly from the limits of the quantity figure. You can go into principles superior than the slider’s utmost default of 1. You can modify the noise pattern restricted within the foam by switching Texture Type (establish in the Textures segment of the OceanWakeFoamTexture quality Editor tab) to any of the normal Maya noise types. You will have to play again the Timeline to see an correct consequence.
The variety of attributes belonging to the OceanWakeFoamTexture node’s fixed noise ought to not be unnoticed. For instance, if the foam is depiction as a rock-hard piece of white, you can bring in gritty noise by raising the Opacity Tex Gain or the Threshold quality. If you’d like to modify the size of the noise example restricted within the foam, regulate the Frequency quality. Superior principles scale the prototype down, and subordinate principles scale the model up. To randomize the noise example of a Billow method noise, augment the Spottyness, Size Rand, and Randomness attributes. You can find these attributes in the Textures segment below the Texture Type quality.
The shade of the wake’s foam is not exaggerated by the Color, Incandescence, and cloudiness gradients establish in the OceanWakeFoamTexture quality Editor Tab. in its place, the foam dye is based on the Foam Color quality of the Ocean Shader material assigned to the ocean plane. The Foam Color attribute is established in the widespread Material Attributes segment of the material’s quality Editor Tab. To make the look of water spray, you can close relative atom emitters to the bow of the boat. Little Cloud particles generated by cone-shaped quantity emitters can do the deception. (A photorealistic ocean imitation, as established by The Perfect Storm (2000), requires the mixture superior subdivision simulations, language, convention fields, renders hole into manifold passes, and frequent compositing filters.)
A cut down edition of the prospect illustrated in this segment is built-in as boat_wake.mb in the episode 4 scene folder on the CD. For extra in succession on a assortment of Fluid Texture 3D attributes, see the “fluidShape” Maya assist file.
