Attempt at water animation

[JimB]

I don't think this method is applicable to many needs, and the obvious flaws are a lack of turbulence in the Water Shader (Brownian motion etc would be a really cool aspect to TG2), as well as the foam not being dynamic in its positioning. It has no transparency as seen in a proper water/lake object, but I think I found a way of emulating that..... maybe.

A couple of animated (translation only and Merge Heightfield) heightfields with the water shader on top, and a foamy surface layer on top of all that.

Both are impressive ...  I like the earlier version more :-)

Then you'll really hate this inbetween slo-mo version

Well, these are fantastic.  Even if it wasn't TG2, but it is...

Very nice! I really like the addition of the foam. It still needs a little bit of work to make it a touch more realistic, but this is the most realistic animated water I've seen from TG2 thus far .

It's great. The foamy part adds a touch of realism but at the same time it looks misplaced. I've not even used TG2's water yet so I don't know how you could advance that, have the foam moving or in a different place.

For me Ocean 4 has the best sense of movement/speed. Great examples, hopefully we can see some longer ones.
