You don't need to use a simulation. Just make the box of Phoenix FD, and choose "ocean cap". Then use the Phoenix Ocean texture for the displacement and caustics. Using a simulation just for this is just a waste of time.

Tim forgive my ignorance I know very little about PhoenixFD. But for the sake of the tutorial, I'm just trying to follow the workflow and understand the basic mechanics of this program. With that said, what do you mean by "make the box of PhoenixFD"? Are you referring to toolbar called, "an ocean sim for the selected objects." Or is it something else? Secondly, where is the option "ocean cap" located? Sorry if I sound like a rookie, because I am :p

@@iamski You follow the tutorial, except you don't need to simulate anything for this simple pool. You make the Phoenix FD "box", and in the render settings, you select "ocean cap", and "ocean" as an option. That will produce a mesh in the middle of the box. And in the render rollout in the displacement section, you add the "phoenix OceanTexture" that you will find in the material editor. That will make the water "live" as if it was simulated. But much better because you can have almost infinite details in it, instead of having to simulate for a long time. For simplicity, just search "Phoenix Ocean Texture" in youtube, and you'll find several tutorials for it.

@@oophus1 I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND!

Yeah, I guess I've deleted that part accidentally..well it's caustics tutorial anyway. ..we have water tutorials besides that..

same thoughts dude some steps are missing i hate this guy now

@@vrayguide jesus christ.

Sorry need to record that, basically I made a box inside the pool - right click convert into Phoenix liquid, that’s how I got the water..

yeah in Phoenix FD you have preset for clouds

yes right click on the box, phoenix fd settings, tick use initial liquid thanks

@@VRaySchool Thank you very much, I already got it, great your channel, thanks for sharing. hey one more question, I made your tuto of the jate in the ocean, and it came out very well, my question is, how can I give up on distributed? I've never been able to distribute Phoenix, what I tried was to save the scene as a file and open it in other machines, but the animation doesn't recognize me, just the boat and the lights. What is the correct way to take the scene to other pcs?

yeah, look into corona caustics

this place is awesome

Just right-click on the object and from the Phoenix FD Properties choose Initial Liquid Fill.

@@GeorgiZhekov thank you verry much

@@GeorgiZhekov Thank you this is what I frustated all time..lol

Yes need to redo that..
