Please bear in mind that Hybrido’s displacement is not visible during the simulation by default – even if it is activated. But, there are three main methods to make it visible. The first one is based on RealFlow’s “Graphs” and very convenient, because we have already prepared an appropriate “Simulation Graph”. It can be found in RealFlow’s “scene” folder. You just have to add this graph to the “Simulation Flow” window. Please visit the “Simulation Flow” chapter to learn how to use graphs with a simulation. Please visit the “Simulation Flow (SF)” chapter to learn how to use graphs with a simulation.

With this parameter set to “Yes”, RealFlow automatically reads the directions of existing wind daemons and translates their values into the direction the waves are travelling. With “No” it is possible to specify a custom wind direction.
Wind alignment
With small values only waves which are totally perpendicular to the waves' direction are removed. When “Wind alignment” is increased, RealFlow will remove more and more waves; waves which are less perpendicular. If the value is very high, only those waves which are absolutely parallel to the wind direction will remain.
@ wind direction
This is the wind direction in degrees [deg]. Please note that in the case of using the linked daemons, the velocity vector is projected on the XZ plane and then converted to degrees. If you use another axis setup, where Y does not serve as a height axis, the orientation of the wind direction will change. By default (with YXZ orientation), RealFlow uses this notation:
- 0°: wind comes from the positive X axis (1,0) - positive wind directions are counter clockwise.
- 90°: wind comes from the positive Z axis (0,1)
Wind alignment
With small values only waves which are totally perpendicular to the waves' direction are removed. When “Wind alignment” is increased, RealFlow will remove more and more waves; waves which are less perpendicular. If the value is very high, only those waves which are absolutely parallel to the wind direction will remain.
Min Wave Length
With “Min Wave Length” the amount of details on the surface can be controlled. Higher values flatten the surface and create fewer ripples. Please keep in mind that the parameter is connected to “Dimension”. When entering lower values, this parameter should be decreased, too, to guarantee that the RealWave object still shows enough structures.
