No problem! Best of luck in school.

That's great to hear!

You are most welcome!

Thank you so much!

Thanks glad I was able to help!

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks hope you found it helpful!

Glad it worked out for you!

No problem! Hope you enjoy the rest of the content as well.

@@DigitalDreambox Yes i saw your another tutorials you are one of the few people who make such quality content thanks again for your job!

You could modify the Noise shader time value like in the Ocean shader to get a wave like effect however it may take some extra work to get it to scroll since that shader lacks the function as far as I can tell. Also some of the settings such on the Ocean shader such as Turbulence or Peaking do a better job of simulating waves, for me at least.

I created this tutorial in Maya 2020 so I'm not sure. Perhaps check if your version has been updated. In the Hypershade it's found in Maya > 2D Textures though I normally just connect it through the File node.

Not sure about what he did but i've tried this tutorial and for a similar result as the one in the beginning i've modified the transparence of the material in the attribute editor (don't know if this will help you)

Yes I create the thumbnails with Arnold. It's a very capable renderer I really like it.

Hi it's at the 3:00 mark. You just need to connect the Ocean Shader by first clicking on the checkerboard box beside Texture.

@@DigitalDreambox oh i mean the translucent color like 0:10

@@user-ew7dw1xp6s Oh I see. That's really nothing special. No textures were actually used. All I did was lower the opacity and played a bit with the roughness. The turntable animation that you see was actually done in Marmoset Toolbag. I use Marmoset for the camera shots mostly because it's faster but you can create a render inside of Maya with even better results using Arnold. My thumbnails are created with Arnold inside of Maya.

@@DigitalDreambox Thank you so much😊I love your videos!

@@user-ew7dw1xp6s Thanks! If you have questions I'll be happy to help if I can.

Hi water animation is better done with shaders in the game engine. This asset is more suited for still life dioramas or very specific games like tile based or isometric. You can animate the water slightly by adding the Ocean shader again to the low poly mesh to give it a flowing effect but it's really finicky. However if you don't need low poly I recommend checking out Maya's BOSS to make realistic water. It's not quite suitable for game projects but useful to know when you want to make something more cinematic. I'll add it to the list of tutorials if people are interested.

@@moizali4698 Thanks!!

Animating low poly water is usually done with a shader in the game engine. This water is more fitting for a diorama or a tile based game where static water is more acceptable.

@@DigitalDreambox One more question about the water! 👋 Around 4:26 you showed how to animate the water for rendering in maya. Mine worked the way you said, but after I finished the tutorial, the waves wouldn't move anymore! 😳Why? Or rather, are they possible to animate for a playblast?

Hi once the water is triangulated it can become unstable if you try and animate it. However you could try running the Texture deformer on the mesh again with the Ocean shader with really low values. I found I was able to create a subtle but cool flowing effect. If there is enough interest I could do another tutorial to illustrate this. The other option is to keep it as quads but maybe harden the edges. You won't get triangles but I think it would still look nice in the right environment and lighting. Hope this helps.

@@DigitalDreambox thank you for the reply! yeah I tried that and I'm having a hard time to put lighting to an ocean shader that I applied to a plane, when I see through the arnold render view they turned to neon purple T-T (since i have to put something floating around the ocean, so this thing need lighting, I try to fix the intensity, etc it doesn't help)

oh never mind i found the issues, they said it doesn't have surface shader, but after I apply it, it became black, now I don't have my ocean T-T

@@annabhate4838 Hi if I were to troubleshoot something like this I would probably do a quick test that looks something like this. First add a plane, add your shader of choice (Blinn, aiStandardSurface, etc) add a light and then render. If it renders fine add your Texture Deformer and connect your Ocean shader and render again. Finally adjust the values to your liking and render again. Try to isolate where the render is breaking. Let me know if this helps.

@@DigitalDreambox hi! I solve the problem! I use boss to make the ocean and when I look at the tender view it looks super nice! Anyway thank you for your advice!!!

I usually delete the construction history if I am sure I don't need it to keep Maya from lagging.
