How to animate ocean vector displacement map - Arnold & Maya

brittanybiggs — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 20:38:13 GMT

I'm following this tutorial: https://area.autodesk.com/tutorials/rendering-an-ocean-with-displacement1/ and I'm curious how to animate the vector displacement map so the ocean water moves?

Any tips?

Thanks!

After you cached your Boss vector displacement you just load as an image sequence for displacement, this is well covered in the Boss Maya learning channel, just follow along.

Thank you for the info! I wasn't following the Boss tutorials. I realized the link I included isn't working, but this is the correct one: https://docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/ARNTUT/Rendering+an+Ocean+with+Displacement

But if I understand you correctly, I should use Boss to create the ocean water simulation, create a cache, and export that to become the image sequence of my vector displacement map?

Thanks again!
