- 1 “RealWave” object
- 3 “Cube” nodes
- 1 “Gravity” daemon
A buoy on an endless ocean rendered with Maxwell Render. The buoy is tied to its position with a MultiJoint.
...
All scene elements can be added from RealFlow's “Edit” menu:
- Add > RealWave | Objects | Daemons
...
- RealFlow nodes can be moved, scaled, and rotated with the the W, R, and and E keys keys.
- Imported objects from SD files have to be unlocked before they can be transformed with with Selected object > Node Params > Node > SD ↔ Curve
- Viewport perspective is changed with the the 1, 2, 3, and and 4 keys keys.
- Shading modes are toggled with the the 7, 8, 9, and and 0 keys keys.
The Setup
Add a RealWave surface (there cannot be more than one RealWave node in a scene).
Rescale the surface to your needs with the R key or the parameters under Node Params > Scale. The surface should be a squared mesh.
Right-click on the “RealWave01” node and choose Add Wave > Fractal
Add a “Gerstner” modifier
Create three cubes and change their vertical scale to values of 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 (Node Params > Node > Scale)
Spread the cubes randomly over the RealWave mesh with the W key and shift them downwards so they intersect the wave surface. About 2/3 of the cubes should be above the water level.
Add a “Gravity” daemon.
...
Select the first cube.
Node Params > Node > Dynamics > Active rigid body
Node Params > Rigid body > @ mass > 500.0
Repeat the steps above for the remaining cubes
