Wet Map
zjantz I used atribute transfers and a SOP solver to create a fading wet map over tame for the beach geometry. This is read in to the beach shader using the…
White Water Refinement
Increasing Particle Resolution I drastically increased the amount of particles in order to facilitate rendering the white water as a volume. White Water Foam Edge In order to create a…
Fog Simulation
Collision Generation To ensure air tight geometry my usual pyro collision setup scatters points on a surface, points get converted to VDB, VDB converted to geometry to merge all parts,…
FLIP Surfacing and Rendering
To Do Drag Wedging Using TOPs I wedged the global drag values for my sim to try and find a speed that matched my reference. Meshing Setup Latest meshing but…
FLIP -> Solaris Workflow
A big challenge I had this week was converting the large flip cache to USD for use on the farm. USD ROPs would fail due to running out of RAM.…
White Water Development
White Water Sourcing I do a couple of steps to my surface field before I add a white water source to smooth it a bit and try and remove some…
TOPs Render Wedging in Arnold
Often times render tests of multiple versions of a shader are necessary. Instead of rendering test frames one at a time we can use a TOP network to speed up…
Beach flip
Particle setup The sourcing of the beach is a particle fluid tank that is culled with the beach collision sdf. I usually have a null that will control voxel size…
FX R&D
I am currently working on R&D for the cg beach scene of our project, this week I began learning the process for flip tank creation and the workflow of ocean…
Previs Development
I am excited to announce the beginning of the Team Oasis project. Got to meet my awesome new team members Jenson Dantes, Veronica Ramirez, and Bomin Kim. Super excited to…
