Phoenix FD 3.0 for 3ds Max - Beach Waves Tutorial

This video tutorial covers the basics of beach wave water simulation with Phoenix FD 3.0 for 3ds Max. It will show you how to use the newly added FLIP solver, the Wave Force - used to create the actual waves, and finally it will show you how to set up a shader using the Wet Map.

Superb tutorial. Just started learning Phoenix FD today and this was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[OnyxLee]

Hello Chaos! I have a question about blending this beach with an ocean displacement phoenix map. How will you blend this simulated part with the entire ocean?

[kyronk]

What computer configuration can do Phoenix FD for 3dsmax

[WizardVal]

Nice simulation! Although for the big scenes - I am afraid the scene needs to be scaled down

I tried to follow the same Tutorial in Maya: In Maya the Viewport previews look much worse. And the official Maya example scene isn't producing any foam at all and the water is looking somehow too "thick". Would be great if Maya would get the same attention. Thanks

i love you chaos group don't change, when's this effet in real time ?

[patsimon]

my ocean pure white during render ..could you help me ?

[cjolsen]

Anyone know how to make the waves smaller in height and still splash properly? Wave height adjustments does not work to get smaller scale. Lowering Wave force strength also dont work well. Setting the simulator scale down also has weird results.

Is Phoenix and all its maps and features supported in RT ?

[HuyPham-jmee]

i didn't see a phoenix fd map in compact material table. i need a help pls

[Gabo_Gatchava]

what about particles underneath beach that was created initially? optimise that first...other than that great video :)

[fillmb]

How can I make to have less waves, i want One wave to 5 seconds.. But o dont know How to get it

please more tutorial for fd 3 for max beer simulation and chocolate and so on +++

[FXAyanPatel]

Automatic vray plane add delete but render we'll show vray plane

[benjones]

Yea... this tutorial didn't work.. you just get a bland blue solid water when you render (V-ray as renderer)

[vladburciu]

it's reaaaly slow. I dont get it .. you guys change parameters in real time almost and for me it takes about 1 hour to simulate 4 seconds ??

[IncubusOfDeath]

The water in my render looks nothing like yours...just a bland blue mesh looking thing.

An error occured and the application will now close.
That's what I love about Max. I can work for a month with ZBRush and 3D-Coat and I barely ever have a crash. Then I try something as funny as ChasGroup plugin in Max. And it's freezing and crashing again and again and again. 3DS Max is junk. Not even worth the effort.
