This is great! It sure beats trying to do this using terrains. You've inspired me to go back and work on an old beach scene. Thanks!

Thanks immensely. This is exactly what I need right now as I'm working on 2 scenes that need waves. Terrains are great for making ordinary at-sea waves, but this will give me those shoreline breakers that terrains just don't do well. Thank you Dankeschoen Merci beaucoup Mille grazie Muchas gracias Domo arigato gozaimasu Hsieh Hsieh Bahut dhanyavad Spasibo Shukran etc., etc. and so forth... :D

Thank you for the tutorial. I too have been trying to make realistic waves using terrains. You have inspired me.

But, but... I wanna know how you did the wet sand!!!!
frogdot posted Thu, 29 June 2006 at 1:08 AM
For wet sand, you can take your sand/beach terrain, duplicate it, then clip the bottom off just a bit. Give the the lower terrain a darker, shinier wet sand material.
Another way I've used, is postwork. Render the scene once with dry sand and a second time with wet sand, then layer them in your image editor and erase along the waterline, allowing the wet sand to show through
hope that helps.
