Houdini's Ocean tools have been significantly redesigned for Houdini 16, offering more control over the look and timing of oceans, render-time evaluation of ocean spectra, and improved tools for integration with FLIP simulations. This masterclass starts by examining the meaning of an ocean "spectrum", then explores the new additions in Houdini 16 and how they can create "infinite" oceans with particle-based foam, as well as embedded FLIP simulations using an Extended Surface workflow.

[@MONEYVAL9]

I was trying to bring in motion vector of an ocean video plate to sim and composite collisions afterwards . HAvent found a way to get that done .

[@Advection357]

I guess I'm done with realflow... :3

[@mnoor8946]

u mean wil leave realflow?

[@npmmalayalamvfxtutorials1717]

@@mnoor8946 Yeah

[@9AFilms]

Anyone who can help me i using vray and it doesnt follow this method for displacement is there any way use that mask and get the waves on geometry so i can render it

[@moiseasta9785]

Could you please upload the ocean guided hip file please?
