Beach

[Hannes]

Holy cow, Ulco, you're really close to reality.

[Dune]

They're photo's, Hannes! The last three, I mean. But I hope to achieve that sort of foam.

[Hannes]

I know, Ulco! I was actually talking about your render. There is not very much difference anymore to the photos.

[Dune]

Well, just wait until you see the next....

[Hannes]

Can't wait!!!!!

A few years ago I downloaded a file (free) called 'Liquids' by SpaceBones' on the RDR site. I understand that it is also on one other site. It contains many different water objects that seem to suit the need of augmenting foam - such as boiling water, bubbles, foam, etc. The only thing I can't figure out is how to make the objects transparent.

I think this may be something to look into Ulco.

Thanks, Bob, I got your mail.

And here's another basic setup again, but I'm still trying for the ultimate foam, and better waves. Bloody hard. Depends on a lot tweaks in color and size, noise type, and breakup, multiplication with other masks and fractals.

Life is a beach. But I can see no problem atoll here!

Wish I could do something like this too.

[Hannes]

This is so good!! There's a lot of details here that make this image so f*****g real.
The subtle shadows of the foam patches are fantastic. And the sand is great too. Is it only in my imagination or are there sundried areas in the sand (-peaks) that are slightly brighter than the rest? Anyway it looks gorgeous!

[oldm4n]

great image! the foam is terrific and ripples are very good too.

[Kadri]

Looks great Ulco!

[Dune]

I don't know about these sundried areas, didn't do that on purpose, so perhaps a happy accident. In this iteration I softened the foam mask a bit, and did some other things to it.  I think it's a little better again.
Soft shadows, but not enough samples for grainfree softness, I guess.

I just encountered the strange phenomenon of multiple spontaneous ejaculations in front of the computer screen.

The foam in the last iteration looks somewhat suspicious to me.
Not really healthy.
