I find 3ds are not posable and OBj well don't know how they can be posed either.

Any leads thanks

That would be a cool prop to create.  Waves, foam, ripples that can be animated.  Wonder why someone hasn't cornered that end of the market yet??  I'd buy!! 

Should be relatively easy to create a basic one with some primitives (stairsteps?), magnets and water texture. Too much work for me, though.

Thougth there was a wave creator utility inside of Poser already ( from Poser 6 ) ?

I have some water plane I believe I got through Daz that has some crazy wave magnets and stuff.  Full blown surfer waves aren't possible, but you can get some decent surface wave action going.  If I remember correctly it came with the Submarine that is available in the free area.  (3D models->Free Products).  It was a while ago, so it must be about 4 pages in.

bagginsbill has an ocean shader with dials for turbulence and such. lemme see if i can find the forum post...  here we go

post 4.  parmatic version of his matmatic ocean.  you need a poser version that supports python and his matmatic and parmatic scripts.  matmatic converts the script linked in the post to a material file.  select the ground, apply the newly built shader, then run parmatic.  voila, ocean waves with parameter dials.

Doesn't help those of us that prefer DAZ Studio though!

i'll forgo the urge to tease you about poser power.  it's also true that pwSurface doesn't help with sss materials in poser.  just because a solution doesn't apply to all applications doesn't make it invalid.

i'm sure someone could make an ocean  prop for d|s, but it would probably have to be loaded with morphs and i don't know if things like  reflection and specular would be handled accurately.  i don't think either of those limitations is at all prohibitive.  i'm guessing there's already a great water shader for d|s out there somewhere?.  for other stuff, here's some links to a couple of awesome looking props by forester i've had on my wishlist for ages.  they're application agnostic, so it's up to the user to give them proper materials/shaders.

Check Foresters store.... www.expandingwave.com

She's the TOP modeler of water objects. Tell her BillyGoat sent you.

wow, thanks so much for the link.  yeah, i think the only thing that might be better is investing in that fluid dynamics app... i forget the name.  i think beccouk used it to make her fluid man.  anyway, it costs $1000. 

forester's props are much more accessible.

I'll vouch for the Forrester models, I got them,  But mind - static 3DS models, some of them.

yeah, but that's used in movies like the new version of the  Poseidon Adventure.  i very much doubt such technology will be priced for mere mortals within the next 5 years.

That would be RealFlow.

Blender does have fluid simulation capability, but it's still needs some work (not bad for small scale stuff though).

Realflow V4 is available free in the current issue of 3D Computing, contained on the enclosed cd.

Thanks FrommArcadia

Got the sub, thanks to all for your info
