Hi all,

sounds like a great challenge. It looks like I might have a little time on my hands for now so count me in.
I’ve no idea how I’m going to attack this yet but I want to try it.

Ok I am writing the rules, but here is a preview of them.

It will be a simulation challenge, so realism is key.
there will be three categories for the challenge:

[ul]
[li]THE BEACH (Waves gently rolling on a beach.)[/li][li]THE OPEN OCEAN (Ocean waves. )[/li][li]THE SHIP (A ship moving up an down in the Ocean.)[/li][/ul]Extra bonus if you can simulate storm weather on any of the three
categories. You may add live action people walking in the virtual ocean, or in the deck), but the key is the simulation.

Hi Roberto,

Seems like this challenge might have been written for me. I have just started a thread on the Blender CG forum.

I’m releasing a new tutorial on ocean creation for Blender users this week from my website.

www.cogfilms.com

Anyway, I’m in for entry to this latest challenge. However, as this would be my first entry what’s the process? How do you register etc? and when is the challenge going to be annouced?

Anyway great idea and I look forward to stretching my meagre skills by entering.

Hello guys,

well i was doing some quick test of ocean foam shader…i thought i should post it here…
i havn’t tried particles yet…for foams…will do some tests when challange will be announced.

[tharrell]

Seriously sounds like tons of fun, and I’m thinking that I’m in on it.

I’ve been doing some technical R&D work this week on getting decent looking spray/foam/particles generated by a collision with a boat.

I was hoping to use this as an excuse to immerse myself in Maya fluids, but I haven’t been able to find a way to drive collisions with the ocean preview plane yet, and I know I want dynamic spray, so I may have to check out the RealFlow demo…

Open ocean from above or below?

[Lolec]

roberto , when does it start :)?

[jigu]

Without plugin… it’s very challanging to create foams…
Creating ocean foam shader is very tedious job…we can use smoke,noise or celluler to fake foam but it’s not that easy…
i used mentalray but i m not happy with quick test.
the best way to do is i think in composition…with lots of layers…

[rquinn]

Ive been trying to animate procedurally proper waves without plugin and @_($&)&# its not that easy… i thought a simple noise modd and some animated displace but its not that convincing

[RobertoOrtiz]

roberto , when does it start :)?

Soon… soon

either way it looks great man

a little help please? like… tutorial or something…links maybe

[Lolec]

i did it, standard max material a lot of specular, raytrace with fallof in reflection slot and a noise in bump

[rquinn]

haha just finished my base material… you made it sound soooo simple!
