Dynamic Waves In A Pond

[guillaumerocheron]

Hi,

i'm looking to generate a kind of dynamic wave layer in a pond. I don't want to use the opacity noise textures as they are not reacting or affecting the effects of the fluid emitters. What i'd like to do is having those waves flowing on the surface showing up by emitting density to the fluid.

I've tried emitting from a deforming object underneath the surface, but i get a lot of little picks and artifacts and i'd like to avoid changing too much the settings of the container as i'm pretty happy with the way the fluid is reacting with the actual fluid emitters.

Any idea ?

thanks !

I'm not sure exactly what you are after, but you can have as many emitters as desired and give them any volume shape with dropoff control. As well you probably want to turn off "jitter" on the emitter to keep it from being too noisy. Also for surface emission the minDistance needs to be non-zero for the min/max distance emission to kick in( can create smoother surface emission). As well there is an emission turbulence which can be used for bubbling effects or lumpy emission.
