Preview Plane Ignores Textured Ocean Height

[randomizer]

As in the topic.

If you put a texture file or checker or something into the height values of the waves, the preview plane does not show this.

Is there a workaround?

If you create a wake it connects a fluidTexture to the waveHeightOffset. Internally this particular setup is supported on the preview plane. You could disable all the fluids grids and simply use the built in noise textures on the wake.

Alternately you could temporarily convert displacement to poly on the ocean plane to preview the height at a particular frame (this should show any texturing on the waveHeightOffset).
