Hello, I am obviously new to the forum, this is my first post, sadly it isnt showing off work or anything, but its in the form of a question.
Here goes.
I am working on an animation project in which I will need to use a lot of water type effects, thus Canoe Paddlers, a lake monster bursting forth out of the water, a lot of wave from a fairly calm lake. So I have looked into the Ocean effects, (Maya User btw) and while they would do for a more calm/raging un broken water, they are not too interactive with outside meshes/objects, being they are mainly Displacement maps?
So I guess I am mainly seeking some ideas so forth, most likely going to have to do a lot of Soft body Dynamics and Particle effects. I have looked for a tutorial for similar things but unfortunately I have found none that help with what I am trying to create.
So if anyone out there has done or attempted similar things and has some useful info, I would be more than happy to hear from you! =)
I looke forward to any responces.
Thx for your time.
