karanjaura Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hi Guys ! Need your help in solving an issue I'm stuck on,doing this wave RnD for a project,I need to add small detail thru displacement, thought ocean Spectrum might do the trick but its giving me weird result Is there any way I can use ocean Spectrum for this ?or if anyone can suggest some other technique to do the same. Attaching my sample hip file,the HDR map, test render and the ref. I'm following. Would really appreciate if anyone can give me some head-ups Cheers Karan ! red_hill_curve_1k.hdr waveDisplace_RnD_ODFORCE.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anim Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 you can watch this masterclass it has a lot of information about ocean spectrum, wave instancing, hero waves, ... https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/houdini-16-ocean-tools/ also you can have a look at this for wave instancing examples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already saw the master class but no luck with that too as the method they showed was based on grid but in my case I am using a custom shaped geometry(the above hip one is just a dummy mesh). but the ODFORCE link you shared might seem to do the trick ,will try that out and see where it takes me and share the progress. Thanks a lot karan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anim Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 it's just small tweaks: - delete N from your geo before applying Ocean Evaluate - increase Ocean Spectrum/Grid Size to maybe 5 - make sure you are not scattering points on deforming surface, scatter on single held frame, and use Attribute Interpolate to interpolate their positions and N - also make sure the point reference frames are stable during your deformation and that the axes point in directions as described in that thread or in the masterclass, to get wind in the correct direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"- also make sure the point reference frames are stable during your deformation " ...could you pls throw some light on this ? waveDisplace_RnD_ODFORCE_v02.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have scatterd the points on static mesh only, but if I turn on Attribute Interpolate is cause my mesh to flicker,while bypassing it the ocean spectrum is behaving the way it should. waveDisplace_RnD_ODFORCE_v03.hipnc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
