Nodes - RealWave

RealWave is a powerful wave simulation toolset for small to mid-range ocean surfaces with versatile features. Objects and standard particles are able to provoke waves from interactions; they can contribute to foam-maps or generate splash particles.

Quick Start

We have created several tutorials and workflow descriptions for you to get you off to a good start:

• → Quick Start Workflows - RealWave Workflows

• → Quick Start Tutorials - Endless Oceans

• → Quick Start Tutorials - Floating Objects

• → Quick Start Tutorials - RealWave-Object Interaction

RealWave Surface Deformers

When a RealWave mesh is added you will see nothing more than a flat surface. A deformer adds structure to this surface:

• You can add and blend as many deformers as you want with a right-click on the RealWave node. 

• In the appearing context menu click on “Add”, and choose one of the deformers.

• Once you have added a deformer it will be attached to the RealWave node and you have access to its settings.

These are the available deformer types:

• → Control Points

• → Fractal

• → Spectrum

• → Scripted

• → RWC Sequence

• → Gerstner

• → Ocean Statistical Spectrum

• → Object Interaction

• → Plugins

RealWave Emitters

RealWave provides two specialized standard particle emitter nodes:

• → “Object Splash” creates splashes from impacting or floating objects.

• → “Crest Splash” creates white caps on top of the waves' crests.
