How to change the direction of the Foam? ---------------------------------------- I have followed the entire tutorial "AsileFX-Vue_8_Terrain_Workshop". I have followed the Rivers tutorial.

I have made an animation with Vue xStream 8.4 of a river that have a little bit of foam near the terrain object.
I have a Metanode called "Foam" that is linked to the Displacement, the Bump and the Alpha Output Nodes.

The problem is:

The bump of the second separated water Node material parallel to the coast is OK.

See the attached image of the graph in Function Editor for Foam Material !

Thanks!
Please help!

What if you change the wind direction? This will change the bump direction, but I don't know about the foam.

I suspect that you won't be able to completely control the direction of the foam (even with an suitable invisible object under the surface) because where it appears is determined by the distance to the object below, meaning you're always going to get some on the shores (which is what the node you've used is meant for).
