I have a question, regarding this image. Anyone have any ideas on how to create more realistic foaming water (from the propeller), without using postwork, I prefer to not use postwork. Thanks Dennis

sorry wrong program.. I was thinking I was in the Carrara forum look at to many places :)

other thought.. use the terrain? make a very small hill... add small bumps... clip edges... add a foamy texture.. once again.. just a guess actually what you have isn't bad... reshape it... make it a bit more transparent..?

Thanks Thomallama, I'll go back and play with it.

You can use a terrain (symmetric for example) with a suiting material. Maybe you go to www.guitta.net there is a tutorial for foam i think. I hope that will help.

One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.

You could try little tiny bubbles with transparent stuff.

Just for fun create a gray scale image of a spiral and load it in the terrain editor and tweak the procedural settings for noise and then txture it with bubles and foam,,,it might work and you will learn a lot even if dosen't.

Thanks all, I've tried all of the above with mixed results. At one time I did have one that looked quite good butt, the render time was ridiculous. I will play around with it again.

Well in stead of post work you could do some prework ;) Use something like Particle Illusion or a paint app to paint a lot of small bubbles as well as an alpha mapp for them and then render them together or if your using pro create a Phyton script that generates the bubbles.

LOL, though actually prework does sound beter ;0) Thanks HellBorn
