Setting OceanEvaluate's Export to Texture resolution

[GeordieM]

Hi all, has anyone played with exporting the displacement maps from an OceanEvaluate SOP?

 

The SOP has a tab called "Export to Texture" and I want render out a 1024x1024 texture sequence of the wave displacement.  If I hit the "Render Control..." button it gives me the option to set a resolution (in fact native is 1024) but the textures it renders are always 128x128.

 

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
 

TNKS!

PS: It doesn't show it in the attached image but I've tried manually setting the resolution to 1024 but still get 128 render.

What is the ocean resolution setting on the ocean spectrum?

 

If it is 7 then it will create the ocean at a resolution of 128x128 (2^7)

 

Maybe if you try a higher setting like 10 should yield 1024x1024

 

 

 

Hard to tell without the full file

That's a bingo!  Thanks!

 

On a side note do you know what exactly is the displacement map representing?  I was thinking it would be a 32bit combined wave height but it looks more like the displacement of three different noise channels?

It's a vector displacement map, so each color represents a component of the vector to displace along. Red =x green =y blue= z. These vector values together represent the distance (length of the vector).
