Someone posted on the Cow forum asking how to animate a breaking wave in Cinema. After thinking on it a bit, it occurred to me you could use the new spline deformer to achieve this effect. Here's a very rough animation showing how it might look:

And here's an editor preview animation showing how it works:

Adam,

That's a kick butt approach! Kudos to you for sharing the spoils of your efforts! :D

BTW, your avitar reminds me a lot of Vin Diesel? Speaking of that ... did you ever get my message? :hmm:

Hey Medula,
I didn't get your message, but now I'm dying of curiousity to find out how it might relate to Vin Diesel. :) My email's nehemia2001@yahoo.com
