Re: aaOcean - SI 2014 - How to set it up on a scene?

2016-08-10 Thread Pierre Schiller 
oh man.I haven´t seen any example of those ICE setups... :(
I´m going to have to investigate. It could be so awesome to see ICE do this
on other setups.
I know there´s a demo scene on collision between surfaces, but how to
advect that into a weightmap¿?

Cheers.

 My workgroup looks like this:

 What other thing do I need to make to have the shader found with MR?

you have to emit particles from the boat/ocean intersection area, and
advect them along velocity vectors on the ocean surface using ICE. 'Use
Negative Eigen Vectors' from the aaocean ice compound for advection, and
use 'eigenvalues' for when you want to accelerate advection. Some sort of
flow noise will give you a better looking aft wake.

 Hello guys, when I installed my AAOcean Workgroup, I only see
 this compound. And it´s output it´s on yellow. Previous AAOCean 
 had a grey
 output so it could be plugged directly into Executes on ICE tree 
 node.

 Question: What is the correct way to setup aaOcean on ICE?

2016-08-10 Thread Olivier Jeannel 
As far as I remember it's a sort of surface tension (crease value), it send
some data in a weightmap and some particles are emitted from there.

Amaan, how possible is it
build foam from the back of the ship like in the video with aaOcean ICE?

Thanks for your reply, man. And thanks for taking your time with us. :D
