I have followed the Vue (Shoreline Foam) tutorial but I still am not getting the foam to exist around the base of the boat like in my example.

I made some V5 water materials after reading loads of tutorials, but you can do your own.

For foam around boats, make a lozenge shape (an elongated, flattened sphere), park it under the hull (having made it the same width and length), make it invisible (100% transparency), and the object will drive the foam function.

You can tilt it so that more foam appears at the front of the boat - the stern, as we salty old sea-dogs call it - or extend it back to create a wash.

I thought the stern was the rear of the boat.  The bow is the front.

Nice foam, either way.  :)

Hi, thanks for he replies. I apologise for not being more specific in my question. I want to animate the foam around the boat, so I need to use a "Function" to do this. ydddrasil, posted an excellent tutorial at the following link. I have followed it but when I use it in combination with the boat it isn't working. My waves are rolling. I need the foam to be a function so I can animate the waves and still have the foam crash around the base of the boat. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Us salty old sea dogs have problems with our memories. It's probably all the rum.

If you check my image Ha Long, you'll see I managed to do it with the "distance to object below" node. The tric was to duplicate the boat part that is in the water, and stretch it down to the ground level. You'll need to split your mesh objecgt to be able to duplicate the right part. I think I over did it in my image, but you can do it better, I'm sure!
