I wish to render an image of a speedboat moving rapidly across the surface of the water. Bryce 5.0 can render water just fine: problem is, how do I render/postwork the line of white ocean spray that depicts the movement of the boat? Does anyone know of any techniques? Render or Postwork? Thank Yew.

You could have a look at Zhann's tute on 'The Summoning' over at Daz (click the link). Mahray

yeah, that site is awesome :) you might also want to look at the tuts here: www.thewings3dsite.tk

Thanks for the response, Mahray! I really like Zhann's tutorial. draculaz, the page you referred me to (www.thewings3dsite.tk) features only Wings3d tutorials. I was looking for Bryce (or photoshop) tutorials. But thanks anyway. :)

it's not easy..I've tried in the past with cylinders using cloud textures, but it wasn't too convincing..;) If you're up to it, you might try making a greyscale image of the wake, then import it into Bryce, and make a water texture..spray..now that's hard..

my personal suggestion? use trees, make the trunk transparent and use the leaves my .02 :) BT fwiw, thats an old trick from long ago...I didnt come up with it

I have not try it on makeing spay but you can use this to made a planet spay apart or put it in photoshap and cut what you wish and put it on a terr. and shape it how you wish with a brush in the terr edit. Think I try this myself like i say I not sure. or get a image in photoshap and pass it though fithers that will make a lot of dots. that what i did and get what size spay you wish I had to down size my image i use[made it a poor image now] but it give you an ideal of what to look for. a lot of dots
