Title: Beach and foamy Surf
Post by: Dune on January 13, 2010, 11:24:25 AM
I quite got it now, a way to get nice surf (with just a tiny hint of a curl) where the foam can be restricted to the coastal waves, good enough (IMHO) to add it to the NWDA community store, and get a little back for the weeks of experimenting. Of course there's ample room for enhancements, but it's a nice one to experiment with. Hopefully, a later build of this great program will have real surf! I just uploaded the tgd and tutorial, so it might need some time before you'll find it. Here's an image.

Dune they are nice waves really  :)

Do i remember wrong ? Didn't Jo make the water plugin(?)  for classic Terragen ? I have nothing bad to say about your waves Dunes .
But i am curious why Jo didn't make a new plugin or node for TG2 . I am not a programmer . Maybe it is very difficult to make it for TG2
(hint hint ... is this enough to winding him up ;D )

@kadri: You're right, but a similar thing for TG2 is in the (longer) pipeline, I heard along the grapevine (if I heard right).

Hi,

The main reason I haven't done anything like this for TG2 is that I haven't had time. I think you could reproduce the effects I made for v0.9 using the node network, and in fact I think you'd agree Dune is definitely heading in the right direction. I'd say it's as good if not better than WaterWorks already. I'd like to be able to dedicate some time to coming up with some cool stuff for water, but I'm just too busy with boring stuff ;-).

Regards,

Jo

Dump the boring stuff, Jo!

Depends on what the boring stuff is. It may be a real gem of a shader that Jo is finding tedious to code.

A lot of work goes into the GUI, cross-platform issues, preparing various things for the transition to 64-bit on both platforms, etc. That stuff takes up most of Jo's time at the moment.

its so annoying how you people can make stuff so real when i cant :(
but the backround grass should be a bit more yellowy like the object grass in the front

Well, it took me more than a year to get this far, and I work with TG daily. About the grass, you might be right, but the grass (and landscape) were of minor importance here. It's all about the surf and foam.

Study (this forum) hard and experiment a lot, you'll get there!

I suspect Jo that once finished with your important stuff that a TG2 'Waterworks' will be in the works ...keep on.
