Tip: FR Ocean and Mesh Distance Foam

by a.cangelosi

In this tip video for 3ds max, we’ll be back to talk about Mesh Distance texture and FinalRender Ocean. We talked in the past about the mesh distance to create a foam mask over a generic sea material, now we’ll take a look at how we can use it to control the foam presence using the FR Ocean shader, and we’ll see how to create a simple foam texture using some nested noise maps.

      You are right, it can be a good way to simulate the same thing.
