[TheLegend1245]

thanks

[RevolutionVoltage]

omg... i watch your tutorial and I made an awesome ocean :D TY mate :D

[Hunoghun]

very helpful tutorial, thanks

[tckill101]

nice tutorial, big help thanks

[NightCrawl3r68]

this is really anoying i have done everything you said to do but when i drag the material in it just changes colour and when i render it it does ot show the ripples and materials any help??

[DigitalAgeVFX]

What should i do if i want to see the water moving,kinda real moving watter ?

[OrionRaw]

@DigitalAgeVFX Just render it as an avi and play it in a movie player :3

[DigitalAgeVFX]

@OrionRaw Well,appreciate it thanks!!

[HaloModder555]

Blender and MAX are pretty much the same thing. Blender will throw a whole load of advanced crap at you from the beginning but it's all there. The real main difference for the average user happens to be the price.

[TheLegend1245]

Awesome. How did you get sunlight 6:32??

Thanks ... wonderful. I am starting in 3ds Max and you learned me a lot. My first water animation.

Now all I need is a pirate ship or alike and go sailing .. :-)

[TheDallasDragon]

@videofxuniverse Hi Dave are you from Engayland ? i think i recognize your accent i really like how you talk and all. Im from Engayland too i mean i wasnt born here im immigrant and all and shame im straight but im trying to convert.

and how come you dont use 3DS MAX 2012 ? do you know you could download it free trial from Autodesk USA or CANADA ? yeah man google it

hope this help

[chimpzoid26]

very helpful, thanks a lot!

[SupCor]

This was so well done man. Thank you.

[TheRideArounds]

how do u get it so that you can see objects inside the cylinder, whenever i put a character or somethingin the water its too dark to see

[Songwriter4God]

Wanted to see how bad Max can do, my brother an open source advocate and recently compiled a new beta of Blender 2.5 and rendered an amazing ocean scene, it looks so real you'd think it was if you didn't know it wasn't. I wanted to how Max can do, and apparently not very good, even at about 1300 bucks...

[POWERSM0K3]

@Songwriter4God MAx is so much more powerful than blender. like what was posted a year ago by the dude above. this is basic. take a look around youtube somemore and you will see how amazing it is.

[Songwriter4God]

@POWERSM0K3 'Course it.is. My brother: "Ever seen the beta version of Blender 2.56 b?"

[Songwriter4God]

@POWERSM0K3 Also, Blender: $0.00 Max: $1,000+

[bobenc0]

Thank you !

[666lilnickY]

my material editor looks nothing like yours, i can't navigate.

[POWERSM0K3]

@666lilnickY be sure you are using the reg. material editor not the slate material editor

[666lilnickY]

@POWERSM0K3 thanks but i already figured it out.

[vaisatrian]

Man! I just leveled up after watching this!!!! THANKS A BUNCH!!!! :D

[boscher5050]

Mine turned out to look like a fuckin n64 game

[MRsticksmovies]

little of topic but how do you get the little message on the bottom of your screen please get back to me please thank you and nice tut

[POWERSM0K3]

@MRsticksmovies after effects or some sort of video watermark prog.

[chuj00]

this makes me cry cause its so beautiful

[w0to]

found it, but another question now, how can i make the waves higher? like a stormy ocean

[login4donald]

@w0to Try using a different bump map :) with higher contrast

[w0to]

my ocean is very low quality, how can i make it more resolution?

[fireglowrofl]

hi my 3ds max doesnt have any stuff in the maps when u press bitmap then where u got reflection thing ive got nothing

[Darien500]

@fireglowrofl smae so wtf do we do?

[Farid9090]

Thanks

[red8316]

Any good places to go to find nice pano bitmaps, like the ones you have in the tutorial. Thanks for the tut btw, it's been extremely helpful.

[videofxuniverse]

@red8316 marlin studios has a great double CD of panoramic images.

[ultraphoennix]

dude i don't have the rage raf somethimg i have 3ds max 2010 help

[cgpersia]

Check out my channel for 3ds Max, After Affects tutorials, etc. Please subscribe, would mean a lot.

[BASTURDONLINE]

Great tutorial ;)

How long have you been using 3ds max and do you have a job with using it?

[videofxuniverse]

@BASTURDONLINE about 4 years now. and no im not employed with any company yet, bt i have put my cv around. i mainly do freelance work.

[TheShootHappy]

@videofxuniverse how come u dont use 2011?

[videofxuniverse]

@TheShootHappy because im not made of money and wont upgrade to a newer version when they get released every 6 months

[TheShootHappy]

@videofxuniverse ... i got 2011... and 2010... i dont use em so much so i cant really tell how much its improved but 2011 seem more stable and got more functions....

[brunnemerc]

@videofxuniverse

get a school email and your good. you can get any autodesk product for free. you can download every single one if you would like. if you make one up that could work lol.

[1FLAGprogrammer]

@videofxuniverse its called torrent

[ElmigoMG]

@TheShootHappy lol it's summer 2010 and the 2011 version is released already. WTF? I'm not buying it, it costs too much!

[xXxBladeStormxXx]

@TheShootHappy Not everybody prefers to torrent things. Skill and talent lie in the creator and not the software. But when will you kids learn this.

[TheShootHappy]

@xXxBladeStormxXx oh i do realize that, i was just wondering... i find that newer softwares make things more practical and often make the software more stable...

[xXxBladeStormxXx]

@TheShootHappy Then I guess you got even your basics wrong. Newer softwares are almost always bugged and unstable. Its better to use 2 versions older of the software.

[TheShootHappy]

@xXxBladeStormxXx well, that depends how new and how old they are... i find that the really really new buggy softwares have easier fixes then the really old software because the program is a mess... its not always correct but still... i generally get a new software ½ a year after its released (unless its a software im really looking forward for), and most problems are solved by then...

[Gamezonemachinima]

ffs would been nice if u lent use the imkages u fucking used grrr

[AaronTrutsJC]

does it work in games like a character diving in the water?

[inquestFLASH]

exellent stuff mate.keep on the good tuts.

[ariflacucha]

thnk you!! this vid is great! LIKE!

[D3w10n]

M8... The fuck?

Very nice work

[sjjumani]

excelent tutorial, helped me with my final assignment :)

[Haxxtt]

Well, thanks alot i'm sure this helped alot of people.

I have an question What is your job exactly?

[Djghost1123]

i find dreamscape handy because it creates stunning visuals especially the sky.

[AoiTaka6]

Amazing :D I have failed at the water reactor method haha this works perfectly for me :D

[chronicyayo]

i love this! specially since i dont need to go and buy plug-ins!! thanks alot man!!

[anoopjosekumbu]

how can i down load

[walts89]

Thanks alot man! this is one of the most well structured tutorials out there :)

[MasterJake777]

This is really cool, and I like the floating marble.

[MagicalChickenWings]

LOL.

Mine turned out looking like a piece of shit.

[vladpiranha]

A question for your process. I can't seem to find any control over the curves of the phase. I even dug into the bump map in the Curves Editor, but still found nothing. How does one go about animating it without it accelerating as it pleases?

[sashadesilva44]

@vladpiranha

I think you can "animating it without it accelerating " if you can animate the offset of noise map in material editor

(I don't know whether this is possible,since I haven't done it myself)

[F0xracing994]

haha weird voice animated "Woter"

[mwpboarder]

where did you get that sky image or could you post a link in description on where to download it?

[strategax]

and thank you very much for this very helpful, clear and easy to follow tutorial!!!!

im gonna look for all your tutorials for 3D max!

[mike060187]

PERFECT TUTORIAL! THANKS!

[LuckyLhuie]

how to make a realistic sea in 3ds max?

[neolegend7]

how its not letting me assighn the material

[sashadesilva44]

@neolegend7

you have to select the object before assigning the material

Otherwise the only reason I can guess is you might have locked the scene

[Marienixza]

Hi, ^-^ I'm doing the Stanley animation in my class and I was wondering if you know where I can get sound effects?

[TheEpicIce]

I like this but you forgot how to animate something if it,s falling in it use reacter water just make reactor water yea than put the grids to 150 n 150 and the plane 150 150 than amke the blind them done !!!

[TheEpicIce]

Afcourse Mental Ray ProMaterial Water is better but this one is also good but there are ways to do better!

[franparata1]

Excellent!!!

[TheEpicIce]

Just create Plane and use reactor and Material Editor To mAKE REALISTIC

[gerky03]

watching the video responses iv decided to use this method for far backround effect in a college project, ill post it up when its finshed for yall to see :)

[RedsOfKing]

Stupid 1 water moves and also ppl make better effects and make water color what is real color not this!

[ardlaK]

Of course people make better effects, and, though it may not be incredibly realistic, he does demonstrate a way to make the water move. Also, he showed how to change the color; so quit bitching about it and change it yourself. This is basic stuff, and it's best that he didn't go into too much detail on a beginner's tutorial.

[TheEpicIce]

Real Color Is Behind White and he forgot about the Traparency !

[01ashhan]

cheers dave for the tutorial im doing a college project on 3ds max and this is exactly wat i am looking for. cheers mate

[mike5424]

first thing i've done with 3ds max (had it before but didn't really do anything :P ) great tutorial, thanks!

[NikeTao]

Thanks so much! So cool!

[wowman142]

good job :)

perfect 5/5!

[SilentSniperTX3]

Think with your dipstick Jimmy! Brilliant tutorial

[hungrysparrow]

Yay! I just did this tutorial and had a lot of fun with it too. Cheers!

[GJL0411]

He went really fast but its pretty obvious that he knows what his doing.

[littlebravem3]

Posted a video response. Thanks again for the ocean tutorial. Helped a lot and it's easier than i first thought :) take care and nice job with the videos

[desra69]

YOU ARE A GOD !!! Thank you!

[allenahyong]

i won't say that if I were you...

[StropwenProductions]

for some reason when i create the cilender i like cant go inside of it please some one help

[riajix185]

i tried doing this but when i rendered the final scene it cam out white, any suggestions?

[StropwenProductions]

to much light?

[uploader101]

Thanks for that man, A real big help!

[Metal13Blades]

OMG that's stunning! thanks for all your work put into this tutorial!

[xsound031]

thanks

[vvhoopie]

HA. I love how in 7 minutes you blew my mind.

Crazy how just a few non-extraordinary materials can make a scene like that.

Imagine what you could do when you DO use the "expensive plug-ins."

[custommade21]

dave, i have a few textures like sand and sky etc, when i go to assign them to a material ball, they just take up the little box, and i can't assign them to an object, help?

[dc2587]

I think i know what your problem is. If you havnt figured it out yet. Are you clicking "Get Material" in order to search for a Bitmap to assign as a material? If so, that is your problem. The best way to assign a picture to a material ball, is to click the box next to "Diffuse" on the right. Click BITMAP at the top and find your picture. Should assign it to the ball and not fill the whole thing in. Let me know!

[SLOOM0]

in 2:41 we select what ??? i diidnt hear u

[reeshu777]

he said normal

[SLOOM0]

ok thanks

[seetherlee]

This video doesn't work anymore? All you others do.. lol

[bumerang445]

[ANONONJEWTUBE]

Are you God?

[wildbore84]

[wildbore84]

LEGEND!

cheerz mann. great vid, really easy to follow

(Y) <-- THUMBS UP!

[nulbrew]

My water looks kinda bad quality and the one in the video seems better and i think im doing something wrong but im not sure. I also wanna know how to make it animated so it moves and maybe if you can a link to a good sky. Thanks anyone who helps.

[wildbore84]

all you need to do is add more segments to your plane. it should stretch it less but takes longer to render (Y)

[nulbrew]

Thanks I'll try it

[Tonixsniperfilms]

listen i making water for video game map not for animating so if i do exactly as you say will it mess things up for the map

[roboaalien]

MASTER !! Thanx very usefull.

[iamhereforever]

can you make a tutorial on making clouds?

[luagamedesigner]

sorry edisGW but you're not skilled enough, i think, pm me and say what you can do or your not welcome

[edisGW]

men I cant find maps!!

[luagamedesigner]

hmm, are u 54 years old and do you even know how to do? model a gun in any program and show it for me, maybe u can join then, sci-fi weapons like crysis but we're not gonna copy them and take their work.

[luagamedesigner]

someone wanna make a 3D fps game with me?

so we can be a team on 3-10 man:D

i also have some friends that can join but they are kinda noobs

[XERZUS]

Hey can i help? I like fps games.

[edisGW]

ok tell me wath to do:P

[Nytmare8u]

Nice video thank you for the time invested.

[stickyjoe131]

You are very helpful. Thanks.

[simple11q]

God job on the tutorial. Just some issues:

Setting the noise parameter phase from 0 to 15 is way to much for 100 frames. Rendering with latter, results in a time lapse water effect! 0,0 - 1,0 should be sufficient.

Also, attaching and aligning a sky map to the cylinder isn't that straight forward as it is shown in this video.

Putting the omni light (sun) behind a cloud adds to a more real effect.

Keep up the good work!

[katzzozi2]

that was very helpful, but next time attach the final rendering as well pls :P

[oldernwiser0]

excellent tutorial !

[Overage2000]

damn this program looks complacated

[Draklems]

Sweet tutorial!

[FmMan33]

Fak me sideways :o

Dude you own so much :o

[KAPORALDANGER]

This is very nice man!

[dedu15]

Honestly dude how many hours per day do you spend on 3ds max :P

& What version your using? if you don't mind me asking ^^

[videofxuniverse]

3ds max is my working business so it pays to know how it works. i als use max 9

[dedu15]

Really? , so you get paid for working on it ?

I WANT TOOO !

[jagex1295]

then I suggest getting a degree at academy of arts university, or something similar, there are so many 3d modellers out there now if you don't have a degree in it ur pretty much screwed. (or so I've heard)

[dedu15]

ohh well then, was just a though I wasn't going to build my future on this kind of work anyway..

[charleyboy74]

dave you fucking rock !!

[ChewTuber]

You are so under appreciated, Dave. Nice tutorial

[videofxuniverse]

tell me about it

[lestube001]

very nice could post the result ?
