Does anyone know where I can get water wave presets? The more waves, the better. Thanks..........BJ

Ever tried making your own out of terrains? It's not difficult at all. (Rob)

If you go to the above site, somebody came up with a program that will generate good looking waves... And Rob, I respectfully disagree, it is difficult to come up with realistic, good looking waves... :)

Hang on...let me see if I can find that old image I had.....Terrain rez and material are the key components, lattice skewing looks terrible to me. Be back in a few...

This was my first try at using a terrain as a wave. This image uses only 1 high rez terrain (1024) with massive smoothing, rotated approx 30 degrees from viewpoint. There is no postwork. Trying to find the other one....

This one is not as good because I could not find the final version but, it gives you an idea of what you can do for an "open sea" look. There are 6 terrains in here at 512 rez. (Rob)

Yeah, this is pretty easy... the kind of waves that I'm talking about is when you're standing on the beach, the waves are coming at you, there are breakers and foam on the more distant waves to the shore... That's hard... :) Also, profile of the beach and seeing the waves crashing on the shore... That's hard..

here's my 2 cents :)

I'd seen that tutorial before and it's great... However, you still gotta do work in photoshop to make it look realistic... I was taking strictly bryce... Let's put it this way, waves is work, and experimentation and getting lucky and eventually getting to something you like... :)

Tradivoro, thats better than Fauve Matisse in Gray! (http://www.concentric.net/~sbarnold/#GRAPHICS) Thanks for that tip, I owe you one.

Hey, no prob... I saw it and thought it was pretty good too... I got Fauve Matisse in Gray just for fun... :)

Well, think of Matisse as a DTE with brushes and all sorts of goodies. you can use the japanese brush to make squigglie lines, etc, and save the bmp and import to the lattice editor and have instant plants or whatever. If you set the canvas as square, and make it black, any gray scale will show up in DTE as height and the black will still be an alpha chanel (the maroon color) in the lattice DTE. Its incredible. Only problem is that Matisse is 256 gray scale and Bryce is 65500 gray scale. But the smothing option helps there if you need. I did the pegasus wings in Matisse. Check my gallery here if you missed that.
