Phoenix FD 3.0 Request Tut - Ocean in a Geometry

Here's how you could cut an ocean tank inside a closed geometry at render time. Note that the geometry must have no holes and the normals must point outwards, or you'd get weird results. Alternatively, if you want to render just the ocean surface sheet at the top, you can render in Cap/Ocean mode and cut it with a Boolean.

Hi ! Please tell me How can I make a boat participate in both 2 animation: 1. follow keyframe I set from position A -> Position 2. Follow floating ocean surface. Thanks !

[@John-mz8rj]

Can you get foam round the cylinder.

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

Foam must be simulated from the Foam rollout and a low Birth Threshold. In order to keep it Only around the cylinder, you can use the cylinder as a Foam Birth Volume and use the Volume Fade Dist which is how far from the the foam will appear.

[@Smithalar]

Is it possible to create foam / mist / wake if there’s a boat on the surface?

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

Yup, sure, just simulate them. If you want to cut them only inside the geometry, you must set it as a Cutter for the Particle Shader as well :)

plugin phoenix 3d max why dont support in windows 10? please reply my question

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

Hey, can you tell more more about the problems you have? I moved to Windows 10 recently and everything is fine, except that you don't have rights to save the simulation cache in most places in C:\ :)

[@Joke4Fun]

+Svetlin Nikolov phoenix in pairs when the plugin does not add to the 3d max. Should I use Windows 7 or 8?

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

SUPRI YANTO Are you using the defscanline install of Phoenix or the vray one? Can you check the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max XXXX\plugins\vrayplugins folder and see if phoenixfd.dlr is there? Does it give you any error messages when 3ds max is starting up?

[@ragnakim]

Thanks Svetlin Nikolov! but i have a question for you.. when we re-scale the oceantexture and apply to ocean mesh, the area outside of the simulator doesnt blend well..do you have any idea for this? Thanks in regards and keep up the nice work! :)

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

Oh, can you show me an image of how it looks? It might be because of several different reasons...

[@kostasgelo7962]

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

Ah, okay :) Cheers man!

[@paultkc]

Hi, can phoenix FD be converted into real geometry?

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

Yes, just go to the Preview rollout and enable Show Mesh - the Phoenix simulator will be converted into a standard mesh and you can do anything you want with it. If you are in Maya, you need to do one more thing - change the mesh mode to Maya Mesh.

[@paultkc]

Svetlin Nikolov thank you!
