Amazing stile!
Cool water shader…is it maya?

GOOD LUCK!:slight_smile:

Hey there,
Nope, not Maya, just a combination of standard 3d Max materials ( falloff and noise for the most part ) nested together for bump and ambient channels, and a displacement map created in Photoshop for the larger waves.
The wake is a copy of selected polys of the main water which are tesselated further then displaced with a wake map, the material is a falloff material using the displacement map as a mask between the water shader and a foam map. The wake object is then placed just under the water so it projects the wake through the water.
Hope that helps, good luck with your entry Alladin.
