With the parameters and options in this panel you will be able to crop the Hybrido mesh, remove unwanted parts, and extend the mesh to create the impression of a huge ocean surface. Changes are added automatically and there is live optional feedback in the viewport: if the interactive meshing mode is disabled please go the the "Mesh" shelf and click on the "Mesh interactive" button. In the first step, you have to go the desired frame and build a single mesh with

Please note that the falloff option can also be used when the associated “Repeat ±U/±V” values are set to 0.

A mesh ("Bounding Box") with activated falloff:
outer line = mesh's boundaries | middle line = @ Fall Off Offset | inner line = @ Fall Off Bandwidth

@ Fall Off Bandwidth

This parameter describes the area where the core fluid surface is smoothed and is indicated by a dashed square. The bandwidth is measured from the fluid's border to its centre (outside → inside) and given in metres [m]. A value of 0, represents the fluid's border and disables the smoothing effect. The greater the value, the larger the smoothing area. In the two images below you can see meshes with “@ Fall Off Bandwidth” values of 0.0 and 1.5. Please note how the sharp edge has vanished.

@ Fall Off Offset

By default, the smoothing process starts at the core fluid mesh's borders, but sometimes it is necessary to move this border and this is exactly what “@ Fall Off Offset” does. With values greater than 0, the core fluid part will shrink and the flat area (which can be seen as the connection between the extension and the main mesh) becomes larger. Please take a look at the images. The first mesh has a “@ Fall Off Bandwidth” value of 1.0, but no offset. In the second image, bandwidth is still 1.0, but the offset has been set 0.5.[ Images as described above ]

Repeat +U/Repeat -U

Here you can enter the number of tiles in a positive and negative X direction. When Display > Extension draft is set to “Yes” you can see a grid in the viewport showing the adjusted number of repetitions.
