nice and easy tool. I emphasized the foam size to watch it better. very fast to use to simulate random motions. ciao

Hello Rexus,

that looks erally interesting.
Would you mind to have a closer description how you reached that effect?, maybe with a screenshot?
I've once seen a nice shore line effect in a game engine where 2 surfaces with the texture of the shore foam were moving forth and back with delay. that was so far the best fake of a shore line I had seen. But yours sounds interesting too.

hello faba, nothing so artificial: the sea that you can watch is an icosaedron flattened, decimated and jagged; then I applied two different shaders, I added an alpha map to foam to make it a little likely, probably you cannot see because the tests i'm doing are for mobile contents and videos are saturated, contrasted and brighter. Then I split up the wavefront into three parts and I applied three morph targets with three different timelines to make them asynchronous. Well it's easier do it than say. Hope this helps

ciao

my pleasure, faba here is a first test to simulate wind by using morph targets on vegetation "off the shelf". ciao
