I am creating a 3D diorama in Maya depicting an ocean scene. I am trying to create the base of my diorama using oceanshader and the Boss editor and have the top plane of the base animated with waves but I am a total newbie to Maya. I included a picture below to show the end result I am looking for. One of my main issues right now in the early stages of creating this is that I want the entire base to be the ocean but only have the top plane of the base move with waves and be confined to the edges of the base, and I haven't been able to achieve that. If anyone could be so kind as to help me out or point in the direction of certain tools I can use to help me I would appreciate it thank you. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> This is also my first time posting to the forums so I apologize if this post is not in the correct place.</P><P>&nbsp;<span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Sea house diorama.jpg" style="width: 300px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1343314i6CFDC97EE5FC9A17/image-size/small?v=v2&amp;px=200" role="button" title="Sea house diorama.jpg" alt="Sea house diorama.jpg" /></span></P> Thu, 28 Mar 2024 20:13:24 GMT vjones0998 2024-03-28T20:13:24Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-dynamics-forum/how-to-create-a-transparent-ocean-base-for-a-3d-diorama/m-p/12673020#M95 <P>Hi everyone!</P><P>I am looking for some tips or resources I could look into further in order to achieve this goal.
