sea foam render test

[ArtbyMarkus]

That is probably the best CG foam generation I have seen, ever! Wish I could get a similar effect in 3dsmax, but I don't have to much experience with particles. Kudos for a great demo!

Whats the general theory behind the particles? i'd like to recreate the foam effect in max.

Thanks

Dave.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. A friend have converted HOT to 3ds max, and I was thinking mainly about the foam, but I think I have a solution for it in Max. ;)

It looks really nice. Is there any simulation involved or is it just shading?

And, hows the rendertimes for something like that? ;)

@artifushion

for simulating surface i'm used Houdini Ocean Toolkit. Foam is a particles, rendered as small dots. rendertime - i dont' remember absolutleley, but 1 min per frame 800x400, hardly more. shader very simple - reflect + environment map.

Is this RealFlow?
