In this video for 3ds max, we’ll continue to talk about FinalRender features, and we’ll see how we can use Ocean primitive and Ocean shader to create a good quality sea animation in a very fast and simple way. We’ll take a general look at the Ocean shader parameters, and we’ll see every single mesh parameter, (we’ll talk about foam simulation in a future tutorial), and we’ll see how we can modify the sea mesh using standard 3ds max modifier to have a complete control over shape and final look.

    Very welcome tutorial, but,where’s the foam surrounding the teapot for an instance ?
    I think foam parameters should be adressed too, as you said in the beginning of the tutorial.

      Hi Luiz,

      you are perfectly right. We’ll release a new tutorial to talk just about foam generation and to creare a more complex scene. Thanks for the comment.

    Fantastic! Came over from BlenderCookie just to get an idea about 3d
    max. Saw your render and now I would like to learn more. The wave caps look so real, very sharp edges, I can feel getting seasick. Good job!

    Excellent tutorial! Mind telling me how you achieved the water highlight twinkle-sparkles on the surface? i’m actually trying to figure out how to do that in vray right now…

      It is a really simple lighting effect due to the sun position and the specularity of the surface. We’ll prepare soon a VRay sea/ocean tutorial :)

    This tutorial is great! Any chance you could tell us how to create the sparkle-highlights on the surface of the water?

    Whenever I render the scene with the finalrender ocean material applied it is not dark like the video is there anyway you could guide me to getting these results?
    Here is what my render looks like.
