How we make Realistic Oceans in Cinema 4D

Download the Complete Clouds Pack

When making your sea or ocean as a 3d-render it will be important to control the water shader.
Control it to perfection.

In this breakdown we will be using Cinema 4D and Chaos Corona to create an ocean scene using Vector Displacement Map. The scene is from our upcoming Production Operation: Deli Platter.
This tutorial is an introduction to the larger topic of VDM and developing cinematic renders for your IP.


Have a great and productive day! — Leo

I didn't even remember subscribing to you because your last video was posted over a year ago. But damn I'm so happy I did, now I get to watch all of your videos again! Great content, please keep it up! 🫶

One trick to do water is to make it clear (like water duh) and make a displaced ocean floor object with noises of different colors (like one you used in volume shader) I’ve had great results using this technique. But vdms are a must

amazing tutorial! I followd the steps but i think the beginning looks different... Could you upload the project files without the boat of course?

Regarding Unreal Engine - Displacement was deprecated in version 5, probably because of Nanite (It enables the use of hi-poly objects). UE 4.27 was the last version where we could use displacement maps, and even than I'm pretty sure it was regular maps and not VDM

thank you for much infromation in the start

What about the water spray? What about foam? And sorry - I don't mean to be a neg on this, the VDM stuff is really interesting.

Is there any way to export a vdm from a deformed plane in cinema? I'm curious how you made yours
