Hello again!  i created a zero edge moutain and created a water and i'v put the water a bit above the moutain. I did'nt modify the water or anything...i even tried to make the part inside the water to be 100% transparent and that didnt work. I'm using vue 8 xstream in 3dsmax. This is a small render of what am having.

Any idea?

thanks 

i think the bottom square is too close to the water level

which water material are you using? is it a meta water? it might be a case of that the foam is populated when it is a certain height above the terrain which in this case is all over the terrain.

 very true . thanks my friend!
But one other problem...the moutain is a procedural map that i created in geocontrol nayway i'm trying to make the zero edge to be digged so that the water wont be that close to it. how can i do that. 

thanks again

im sure theres a massively better suggestion from someone else, but the best way i can think of is use a boolean? (i dont deal with terrain much to be honest)

in the terrain editor, what happens if you click "zero edges"? not sure if htat applies to geocontrol jobbies though.

 zero edge will make the edge be zero height. but i will try the boolean.

 haha yea! 
btw the boolean didnt work . anyways thanks for the tip before. cheers

ah no worries, im sure someone will be along to help you soon enough :)

try water without foam btw, it might make a difference and then if it does youll know that its due to foam not becuase the land mass is too close, then you can start chaning some node settings.

Open the terrain editor and slide the Clip slider on the left over just a bit (clip is located at the bottom of the terrain editor) .  That will remove the square edges.

Thanks peggy ! thats wat i wanted  !!

1 other thing...i had to scale the moutain to fit the car ( cant do the opposite due to a plugin settings of the car ) anyway...when i render the water waves looks too big. is there any way to scale it down?

Double-click on the water to open the Water Surface Options.  Move the Overall agitation more toward Calm to reduce the wave height.  You may need to un-check the Use global wave control box and adjust the height for the waves and the amount of foam if you need more control.

Make sure that the water plane has a meta-water material.  Otherwise you loose all the fun water features.  You alos have to have Vue 8.
