Had a request to see if we could create a Bezier Attractor modifier in MegaFiers to allow creation of breaking waves, whirlpool, tornadoes and various other effects and this is the first draft of such a modifier. It allows for deformation to be based on distance from any spline, you can choose to have the mesh attracted to or repulsed from the spline or to rotate about it. As can bee seen in the video to make a breaking wave a simple spline is just moved through the water mesh.
