Making an Ocean with Foam and a Boat | Blender Secrets

Using modifiers and shaders, we can create a beautiful ocean with animated waves and foam. We then add a little rowing boat to it, bobbing on the waves.

For my case, in the Shrinkwrap modifier, setting the wrap method to "Target Normal Project" made the boat less jittery. Thank you, this video helped me a lot!

That's a great tutorial. Easy to understand and focused on the important things.

What a great tutorial! I learned quite a few things I didn't know before. Thanks a lot!

[heli_sim_pilot]

Your videos are so helpful and concise

Finally, easy and transparent tutorial how to make ocean.

[eobet]

Getting an ocean stretch all the way to the horizon without repetition and gigabytes of data while looking photo realistic is the challenge today in Blender.

[mind_of_a_darkhorse]

Wow, that looks easy enough that I could do it, with your help of course!

Good video tutorial as always. You can see that it is feasible for the boat to crash into the waves and produce foam and such (spray)...There are videos on YouTube but it is easier now...Thanks for your channel..

Man this is incredibly cool and useful. I wonder how someone would do this with anime style though...

[eddyjuillerat]

You forgot to mention in the plane's Modifier Ocean, the Foam Coverage parameter. Very useful to make the foam thinner (accept negative values)

I make it to the keyframes part but when I create keyframes they are one dot instead of 3 stacked, and blender adds a line inbetween my single keyframe dot at 1s and my keyframe at 250. no movement.

❤ te amo. Siempre tan claro y preciso. Saludos amigo

[mrsybilllkorn]

nice one, how do you get the water out of the boat?

[zumsl]

Hey, is there a way to make this type of ocean voxel based? That would be so cool

[louloutte]

Really great tutorial ! But i still got a question, how to aviod water inside the boat ?

[FinalMotion]

another way is to just make a vertex parent with three vertices of the ocean and parent the boat to those.

My boat just moves up and down, and does not tilt with the waves. What should I do?
