I live in LA, and while I was watching this tutorial, a police car drove past my house at exact the same moment as on the video (4:58 ), lol. 4D experience.

Hello,

The tutorial content you created three years ago has been incredibly helpful to me. May I ask you a quick question?

I have also created a ship, but instead of a single object, I grouped multiple objects together. Can I still run the wave simulation in the same way? I have tried simulating it several times, but it hasn’t worked properly.

Thank you!

Thanks Friend, but i have a question . about resolution about 8k or more big size render 12000/ 9000 what we schould be do ? because not same result for smaller size render

why can't I preview the water foam?

[AsadAli]

i followed your tutorial step by step but in my scene foam and splashed dont appear.

When you show the setting of all values, show us how they visually differ and what they affect. I understand that based on experience, you know in your mind how the picture will already look with the settings that you set, but those who are not familiar with the tool do not know this. The result is just copying the numbers without understanding what they are responsible for and what the difference between these parameters will look like.

bro, I made all the settings the same, I checked the size of my ship, I made all the settings the same and I did it from the beginning 5 times in case there was an error in me, but no matter what I did, the foam does not come out. I would appreciate your help.

Very nice ..plzz do more tutorials like that =)

[captainzoltan]

when i render instead of appearing as white foam, it's light blue like my ocean material's fog colour. Maybe because I assigned the ocean material to the fd simulator its assigning it to the liquid AND foam splash particles ? I'm working on maya if that makes any difference.

can we make camera fly through into under water?

[marcosmanilla]

Thanks¡¡¡ This is a pretty nice tuto¡¡

[sujstet]

Thanks for the tutorial... Do you use Houdini too?

[mohamedbichoutar]

are you copying what's in the second monitor? you can just put the link to Chaos group help page and jump to show ppl what you want to do incase you want to show them how to save the simulator preset... this video could have been very short

next tutorial: sun light and shadows :)

No wonder it is not widely used, there are too many parameters, it is too complicated, and the learning cost is too high.

Phoenix FD is a torture device developed by sadists to melt the brains of the average CG artist. I've never before used something so appallingly badly designed. A million settings to produce something that really should be achievable using a live preview and some sliders. Great results are clearly achievable but the production pipeline is just too painful!
My advice, don't open the box if you value your mental health and wellbeing or actually have to produce a CG video under deadline conditions!
