When making your sea or ocean as a 3d-render it will be important to control the water shader.
Control it to perfection.
In this breakdown we will be using Cinema 4D and Chaos Corona to create an ocean scene using Vector Displacement Map. The scene is from our upcoming Production Operation: Deli Platter.
This tutorial is an introduction to the larger topic of VDM and developing cinematic renders for your IP.

Amazingly helpful video - can't wait to try this out

Thank you so much! I'm definitely going to try out more techniques around this as well :)

Regarding Unreal Engine - Displacement was deprecated in version 5, probably because of Nanite (It enables the use of hi-poly objects). UE 4.27 was the last version where we could use displacement maps, and even than I'm pretty sure it was regular maps and not VDM

Ahh that makes a lot of sense! Good to hear that Nanite actually works the way they advertised it :)

One trick to do water is to make it clear (like water duh) and make a displaced ocean floor object with noises of different colors (like one you used in volume shader) I’ve had great results using this technique. But vdms are a must

Ohh! That's a really cool workflow. Hadn't thought of that before. Will give this a try as well. Thanks!

Is there any way to export a vdm from a deformed plane in cinema? I'm curious how you made yours

@BlauwFilms 3 ай бұрын

Hey @JanReuser! Just getting back to your comment now. I don't think so actually. If you have a deformed plane it will always give you a Black to White map. But you want to have a colored XYZ map. Exporting VDM from ZBrush is the most straight forward method: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gadzoNiJ2NXHY2Q.html In the example from the tutorial I used a map that was made in ZBrush by someone from the Arnold team. What are you trying to make? Cheers, Leo

@JanReuser 3 ай бұрын

Thanks@@BlauwFilms for the reply! Yea I 've searched some tips but couldn't find a way to do it either. There are some plugins for blender that come close, but I didn't get it to work correctly. I'll try and see if I can use the zbrush method next.

What about the water spray? What about foam? And sorry - I don't mean to be a neg on this, the VDM stuff is really interesting.

@BlauwFilms Жыл бұрын

Hahah no worries! In this render the water spray and foam is composited in After Effects + Photoshop. I will cover it another tutorial as there are some nice masking techniques. I’m working with a friend on a particle sim for the water but that will be in a later stage once we have all the final assets :)

@@BlauwFilms - Thanks guys, I've tried RealFlow in the past and more recently (and with more success!) X-Particles. It's a tough one to sim I find, so I'm always interested how people actually sim a ship/boat wake successfully.

@@baileycs1514 Yess, I agree. It's so tricky! I've always wanted to try RealFlow but it seems like it's not as versatile as I'd hoped it to be. We're currently giving Houdini a try :)
