This tutorial explores how to create large ocean waves (up to 50 meters tall) with Phoenix.
It presents simulated waves only, without any additional geometry to push the water or any rigging involved. We take advantage of the Phoenix option "Massive Wave Force" that allows the force to affect the entire volume of the simulator to produce high waves.
In addition, a galleon ship is added to the scene to use it as an active body interacting with the waves.
This simulation requires Phoenix 4.41.02 Nightly, Build from 19 Oct 19 2021 andV-Ray 5Update 1.3 for 3ds Max 2018 at least. If you notice a major difference between the results shown here and the behavior of your setup, please reach us using the Support Form.
