Title: Beach
Post by: mhaze on July 07, 2014, 12:53:06 PM
With thanks to Dune for some essential tips, I've managed to create a basic beach, something I can build on when I have a good idea.

Thanks. The beach is both simple and complex. Two tips don't use planes and don't use a water shader.  First learn to use the simple shape shader as a mask and warp them.  Then use that to mask surface shaders to create the foam.

Yes, sadly it takes time but keep on experimenting and just try things.

Mick, you've done a fine piece of work here with the waves, foam and shore line. Hopefully, we can gleam some knowledge by yours and Ulco's work. Experimenting is the key;but only if one has a better understanding of the nodes and their interaction between one another.

I don't want to interfere or hijack, but I'll probably put some files of my beach setup on NWDA, soon.

Don't worry I'll keep it to myself.  I've simply passed on the tips you gave me - hope that's ok

Does this mean we have some hope that NWDA will re-open soon ? It would be  great.

David.

Sure Mick, no problem. And yes, NWDA release is getting nearer, but some issues still have to be taken care of.

Thanks all for the kind comments but the real credit is Dune's for showing us what is possible and inspiring us to emulate his work.
